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 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 (4.7 fl oz)
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.
