HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
Fill With Oil
This Edger was shipped with a container of
SAE30 motor oil. Add this oil to the engine
before operating. To fill the crankcase, see
"How To Add The Engine Oil".
NOTE: The engine may contain a small
amount of oil. When adding oil, frequently
insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and check
the amount of oil in the engine. DO NOT
OVERFILl.
Oil Recommendations
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with
API service classification SG. Select the oil's
SAE viscosity grade according to your ex-
pected operating temperature. Above 32 de-
grees, use SAE30 oil. Although
multi-viscosity oils (5W30, lOW30, etc.) im-
prove starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil
consumption when used above 40 degrees.
Check the engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running
the engine low on oil.

How To Fill With Gasoline
Make sure that the gasoline container is
clean and free from dust or other foreign ma-
terial. Never use gasoline that could be stale
from long periods of storage.
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, un-
leaded grade automotive gasoline.
_hlL ARNING: Always use a safety
fuel container. Do not smoke
when adding the fuel to the en=
gine. When inside an enclosure, do not
fill the fuel tank. Before you add the
fuel, stop the engine. Let the engine
cool for several minutes.

California and US EPA emission regula-
tions for ULGE (Utility or Lawn and Gar-
