BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Checking and Refilling Engine Oil

1) Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down. Otherwise skin burn may result.
Inspection: Put the blower on a flat surface and remove the oil cap. Check the oil gauge (1). Make sure that the oil level is within the upper (2) and lower (3) limit marks. If the oil is not up to the 100 ml level (4), fill up with new oil.
- Filling oil: 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.
2) On average, engine oil needs to be added after every 20 hours of operation (every 10 - 15 refuellings).
3) Change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes color. (Refer to "Replacement of engine oil" for the oil change procedure and frequency.)

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)

NOTE:

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 the blower in an upright position.
If the engine oil is exceeded, the oil may spill from the breather of the air cleaner and make surrounding parts dirty, or white smoke may appear due to burning excessive oil.

Replacement of Oil "Oil cap"

• Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil cap.
• 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.

After refilling oil

Wipe with a rag any spilled oil.

2. Fuel supply

WARNING:

• When refuelling the unit, be sure to observe the following instructions to prevent ignition or fire or personal injury:
• Fuel supply must be made in a place free of fire. Never bring the fire (smoking, etc.) near the place of fuel supply.
• Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down before refuelling.
• Refuel on flat surface. Do not refuel on unstable or bad ventilated place.
• Refuel in good light and visibility.
• Refuel at open clear place.
• Open the fuel tank cap slowly. The fuel may be spilled out by internal pressure.
• Take care not to spill the fuel. Any spilled fuel must be wiped clean.

• Carry out fuel supply in a well-ventilated place.

• Handle the fuel with care.

(3) Loosen the oil drain bolt (2) to let the oil drain out. Be careful not to allow oil to get on the fuel tank or other parts.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to lose the gasket (aluminum washer) (3). Put the oil drain bolt (2) in a location where it will not accumulate dirt.

(4) Remove the oil cap (4). (Removing the oil cap (4) allows the oil to drain easily.)

CAUTION:

• Be sure to set the oil cap (4) down in a location where it will not accumulate dirt.

(5) As the level of the oil being drained decreases, tilt the blower over on to the side with the drain so that the oil will completely drain out.
(6) After the oil has completely drained out, tighten the oil drain bolt (2) securely. If the bolt is not tightly fastened, this may result in an oil leak.

CAUTION:

• Do not forget to put the gasket (aluminum washer) (3) back on when reattaching the drain plug.
  (7) Adding oil during the oil change procedure is performed in the same manner as the separately explained procedure for adding oil whenever the level is insufficient. Always add oil by filling from the opening under the oil cap. (Specified oil level: Approximately 220 ml)
  (8) After filling with oil, tighten the oil cap (4) securely to prevent oil leaks.

Points in replacement of engine oil

• Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.
• Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every 6 months).

2. Cleaning of air cleaner

WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours)

(1) Loosen the bolts (1).
(2) Remove the air cleaner cover (2).

4. Cleaning the fuel filter

• Clogged fuel filter may cause difficulty of start-up or failure of engine speed increase.
• Check the fuel filter regularly as follows:

(1) Remove the fuel tank cap (1), drain the fuel to empty the tank. Check the tank inside for any foreign materials. If any, wipe clean such materials.
(2) Pull out the fuel filter (2) with wire through the oil filling port.
(3) If the fuel filter surface is contaminated, clean it with gasoline. The gasoline used for the cleaning must be disposed of according to the method specified by each local authority. Excessively contaminated filter must be replaced.
(4) After checking, cleaning or replacing, insert the fuel filter into the fuel pipe and fix it by the hose clamp (3). Reset the fuel filter in the fuel tank and tighten firmly the fuel tank cap.

Make sure there is no damage on the fuel tank.

5. Inspection of bolts, nuts and screws

• Retighten loose bolts, nuts, etc.
• Check for fuel and oil leakage.
• Replace damaged parts with new ones for safety operation.

6. Cleaning of parts

• Keep engine clean by wiping down with a cloth rag.
• Keep the cylinder fins free of dust or dirt. Dust or dirt adhering to the fins will cause seizure.
• Blowing air is taken in from the air inlet vent and the air inlet net (1). When airflow drops down during operation, stop engine and inspect the air inlet vent and the air inlet net for any blockages. Clean it if necessary.
• Check the air inlet net at the bottom. Remove the screw and the air inlet net. Check if there are any blockages. Clean it if necessary.
• Such a blockage may cause overheat and damage the engine.

WARNING:

• Never use the blower without the net of the blower. Before each use, check that the net is attached in place and is free from any damage.
