General Cleaning and Tightening
The BUSHRANGER Hedge Trimmer will provide maximum performance for many, many hours if it is main-
tained properly. Good maintenance includes regular checking of all fasteners for correct tightness, and
cleaning the entire machine. Pitch and gum deposits should be removed from the cutting blades daily.
Adjustment of the cutting blade tension should be checked regularly.
Storage
For long term storage of the Hedge trimmer:
1. Empty the fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage container.
2. Run the engine to remove any fuel that may remain in the carburetor.
3. Perform all regular maintenance procedures and any needed repairs.
4. Remove the spark plug and squirt a very small amount of engine oil into the cylinder.
5. Pull the starter grip once.
6. Slowly pull the starter grip to bring the piston to the top of the cylinder (TDC).
7. Reinstall the spark plug.
8. Store the Hedge trimmer in a dry place away from excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
