Storage
- Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a
fuel stabilizer is added.
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.
Operation With Blades
Blade use DEMANDS specific Brush Cutter configuration. Operation without specified shield, barrier
bar or U-handle, and harness can result in serious personal injury. Follow installation instructions.
DO NOT INSTALL BLADES ON GT (CURVED SHAFT) MODEL TRIMMERS.
• Arbor Diameter of Upper Blade Plate must match arbor diameter of blades.
• New cotter pin required each time blade is installed.
• Brush cutters over 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) dry weight (weight w/o fuel) require a double shoulder harness.
Note: The Barrier Bar is used to restrict rearward movement of the unit. The Barrier Bar is NOT A HANDLE
and should not be gripped when using or carrying the unit.
Blade Selection
The type of Blade used MUST be matched to the type and size of material cut. An improper or dull
blade can cause serious personal injury. Blades MUST be sharp. Dull blades increase the chance of
kick-out and injury to yourself and bystanders.
