BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
Checking and refill of engine oil
CAUTION:
When refilling with engine oil,
stop the engine and wait for the engine to cool
down. Otherwise skin burn may result.
NOTICE:
Use of deteriorated oil will cause
irregular start-up.
NOTICE:
Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill
port before detaching the oil cap. Also, keep the
detached oil cap free of sand or dust. Otherwise,
any sand or dust adhering to the oil cap may cause
irregular oil circulation or wear on the engine parts,
which will result in troubles.
► 1. Upper limit mark 2. Lower limit mark
Inspection
Put the blower on a flat surface and remove the oil cap.
Make sure that the oil level is within the upper and lower limit
marks. If the oil is not up to the lower limit, fill up with new oil.
Change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or signifi-
cantly changes color. (Refer to "Replacing engine oil"
for the oil change procedure and frequency.)
Refill
Put the blower on a flat surface and remove the oil cap.
Fill the oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.
On average, engine oil needs to be added after every
20 hours of operation (every 10 – 15 refuellings).
Recommended oil
• Makita/Dolmar genuine 4-stroke engine oil or
• API grade SF class or higher, SAE 10W-30 oil
(automobile 4-stroke engine oil)
Oil capacity
Oil capacity: approximately 140 ml
NOTICE:
Store the blower in an upright position
on flat surface. The oil gauge does not indicate correct
amount of oil if the blower is leaned and oil is flown into the
engine. It may result in filling too much oil.
NOTICE:
Do not fill with excessive oil.
Excessive oil may spill from the breather of the air
cleaner and make surrounding parts dirty, or white
smoke may appear due to burning oil.
After refilling with oil
Wipe spilled oil with a rag.
