To ease in removing worn trimmer line, change the trimmer line before it
becomes too short (i.e., approximately half its original length).
Replacement trimmer line should be 0.118inch/3.0mm - 20 inches long
(Squared style).
1. Remove the worn trimmer line from the spindle.
2. Fold the replacement trimmer line in half and insert both ends through
the loop near the edge of the spindle.
3. Pull the ends of the trimmer line through the loop until the line is
securely beneath the metal tab.
4. Cross the line ends and pull each tightly to secure the trimmer line in
place. See Figure 3-3.
SERVICE
Maintenance
General Recommendations
Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance.
The warranty on this string trimmer does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain the string trimmer as instructed here.
Changing of engine-governed speed will void engine warranty.
All adjustments should be checked at least once each season.
Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are tight.
WARNING
Always stop engine, allow engine to cool, disconnect spark plug, and ground against engine before
performing any type of maintenance on your machine.
Lubrication
1. Lubricate pivot points on the throttle handle at least once a season
with light oil. This control must operate freely in both directions. See
Figure 4-1.
2. Lubricate the wheels at least once a season with light oil (or motor
oil). If wheels are removed for any reason, lubricate surface of the axle
bolt and inner surface of the wheel with light oil. See Figure 4-1.
3. Follow the Engine Operator’s Manual for lubrication schedule and
instruction for engine lubrication.
Deck Care
Clean underside of the machine after each use to prevent build-up of grass clippings or other debris.
1. Allow engine to run until it is out of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
2. Tip trimmer so that it rests on its side. Keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Hold trimmer firmly.
WARNING
Never tip the trimmer more than 900 in any direction and do not leave the trimmer tipped for any length of
time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
3. Scrape and clean the underside of the machine with a suitable tool. Do not spray with water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean the machine. These may cause
damage to the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
4. Put the trimmer back on its wheels on the ground.
