deadly gas.
ADD OIL TO ENGINE
----------
A

1. Make sure the walk-behind blower is on a flat, level surface.
FILLER CAP/DIPSTICK
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick
to add oil. (See
Figure

Figure 9
3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the
FULL
mark on the dipstick.
(See engine manual for oil capacity, oil recommendation, and
location of fill cap.)
A
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE OIL.
Check engine oil level daily and add
as needed.
1. The engine must be off and allowed to cool at least two minutes
before adding fuel.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. (See engine manual
for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and location of fuel cap.)
3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.
A
WARNING
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine
may include evaporative emissions control system components,
required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will only
function property when the fuel tank has been fitted to the
recommended level. Overfilling may cause permanent damage
to evaporative emissions control system components. Filling
to the recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow
for
fuel expansion. Pay close attention while filling the
fuel tank to ensure that the recommended fuel level inside the
tank is not exceeded. Use a portable gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do
not use a funnel
or
other device that obstructs the view of the
tank filling process.
