Before Starting the Engine

1. Checking and Refilling Engine Oil

1)Follow the procedure below when the engine oil is cold i.e. the blower has not been running.

Inspection: Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap. Verify that the oil level is within the upper and lower limit marks on the oil level gauge. If the oil is not up to the 100mL level, fill up with new oil.

Adding Oil: Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap. Fill the oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.

2)On average, engine oil normally needs to be added after every 20 hours of operation. This interval for every change in oil corresponds to refueling the blower approximately 10-15 times.

3)Please change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes color. (Refer to p. 15 for the oil change procedure and frequency.)

Oil level gauge

Upper limit

Remain 100 mL Lower limit

Recommended oil: MAKITA genuine oil or SAE10W-30 oil of API type SF grade or better (4 stroke motor oil for automobiles)

Oil capacity: Approximately 0.22 L (220 ml)

CAUTION

•If the blower is not stored in an upright position, the oil may flow from the level gauge into the engine and give a false reading when checking the oil level. This may result in inadvertently overfilling whenever adding engine oil. Always store in an upright position.

•If the upper oil level limit is exceeded, this can result in the oil becoming dirty and white smoke from burning excess oil.

Check Point #1: Concerning the oil cap when adding oil

•Wipe off dirt and grime around the opening before removing the oil cap.

•Remove the oil cap and place it on a clean surface so that it does not accumulate any sand, dirt, or other foreign bodies. These may stick to the cap and adulterate the engine oil if proper care is not taken. Dirty oil containing sand, dirt, or foreign bodies may cause excessive wear on the engine due to improper lubrication and result in a breakdown.

Check Point #2: If oil is spilled when adding oil

•Oil spillage on the outside on the blower may result in the engine oil becoming dirty or adulterated. Therefore, please wipe off any oil spillage before starting the engine.
