REGULAR MAINTENANCE

AIR FILTER

Maintenance Interval:

The air filter should be cleaned daily or more often when working 

in extremely dusty conditions and replaced after every 100 hours 

of operation.

Maintenance:

Push and open the air filter cover. Remove the foam filter. Clean 

the filter with warm, soapy water. Let the filter completely dry. 

Lightly apply SAE 30 motor oil to the foam filter and squeeze out 

all excess oil. Reassemble the filter and filter cover.

FUEL FILTER

Maintenance Interval:

The fuel filter should be replaced after every 100 hours of 

operation.

Maintenance:

The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick-up hose inside 

the fuel tank. To replace the fuel filter, first make sure the fuel tank 

is empty.  Remove the fuel cap.  Using  a wire hook, gently pull 

the fuel filter out though the fuel filter opening. Grasp the fuel 

hose next to the fuel filter fitting and remove the filter

 but do not 

release the hose.

 While still holding on to the fuel hose, attach 

the new fuel filter. 

Drop the fuel filter back into the fuel tank. Make sure that the fuel 

filter is not stuck in a corner of the tank and that the fuel hose is 

not doubled over (kinked) before refueling.

WARNING

When the hedge trimmer is stopped for servicing, inspection or storage, shut off the power source, 

disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and make sure all moving parts have come to a stop. 

Allow the hedge trimmer to cool before making any inspections, adjustments, etc.

SPARK PLUG

Maintenance Interval:

The spark plug should be removed from the engine and checked 

after each 25 hours of operation and replaced after every 100 

hours of operation.

Maintenance:

With the engine at ambient (room) temperature, twist the high 

tension lead boot on the spark plug back and forth a couple of 

times to loosen boot then pull the boot off of the spark plug. 

Remove the spark plug. The electrodes can be cleaned with a 

stiff brush. Adjust the electrode air gap to 0,6-0,7 mm (0,024-

0,028 in.). Replace the spark plug if it is oil-fouled, damaged or if the electrodes are worn down. 

Do 

not overtighten the spark plug when installing.

 The tightening torque is 10.7-16.6Nm (95-148 in.
