|
Where can I buy the canisters? |
| |
Standard 16.4 ounce propane canisters are available at most hardware stores, sporting goods stores, drug stores, and other location where lawn and garden tools are sold. They are available at many of the same outlets as the Eco Trimmer and Eco Blower including Home Depot, Ace Hardware, True Value, Do it Best, Meijer, and Sears. |
|
|
Are the canisters recyclable? |
| |
Absolutely! Propane canisters are made of steel and are 100% recyclable when empty. |
|
|
Do I still need oil? |
| |
Yes, oil is needed in the crankcase and it will need to be checked and refilled at periodic intervals per the owner’s manual |
|
|
How do I know if the propane canister is clamped correctly? |
| |
After inserting the propane tank into the plastic "cage" and attaching the hose connector, push the tank back so the hose connector is no longer protruding beyond the surface of the plastic cage. Then latch the clamp closed. This is to protect the connector and the tank from damage should it be dropped. If the tank is not in this position, the clamp will be around the lower half of the tank (which is slightly larger) and will be too tight to latch properly. Note: The very first time a tank is installed, it may be tight but soon will take a set and latch easier. |

|
How much oil does it need? |
| |
Check the oil level with the dipstick after filling. Always check the oil level with the dipstick according to the manual. Oil provided with the unit may be more than necessary. Overfilling will result in oil leaking from the air filter housing. |
