SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
STORAGE
WARNING: Do not remove gasoline
while inside a building, near a fire,
or while you smoke. Gasoline
fumes can cause an explosion or a
fire.
1.Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank. Let the
engine run until it is out of gasoline. If you do not
want to remove gasoline, add a fuel stabilizer to
any gasoline left in the tank. Fuel stabilizer will
minimize the formation of gum deposits and
acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix the fuel
stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate
container and add the mixture to the tank. Always
follow the instructions on the stabilizer container.
Run the engine at least ten minutes after
stabilizer is added to allow the mixture to reach
the carburetor.
2. Drain the oil from the engine. Fill the engine
crankcase with new oil.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour
one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the
recoil starter handle so that the oil will protect the
cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder.
4. Completely clean the trimmer including dirt and
debris from the cylinder cooling fins and the
engine housing.
5. When not in use, disconnect spark plug lead and
store in a well ventilated area inaccessible to children.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at an
authorized service center will make sure
that the trimmer will provide maximum
performance for the next season.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in fuel system parts
such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose,
and tank during storage. Also, using alcohol-
blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids
