CLEANING
WARNING:
Always turn off your
trimmer before you clean or perform
any maintenance on it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the
unit. Do not use strong detergents on plastic
housing or handle. They can be damaged by
household cleaners that contain aromatic oils
such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such
as kerosene. Wipe off any moisture with a soft
cloth.
STORAGE
If the unit will be stored for an extended period
of time, use the following storage procedure.
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a
container.
Do not use fuel that has been
stored for more than 60 days.
Dispose
of the old fuel in accordance to Federal,
State and Local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it
stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been
drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark
plug and put approximately 1 oz (30 ml) of
any high quality motor oil or 4-cycle oil into
the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to
distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any
loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace
damaged parts and tighten loose screws,
nuts or bolts. The unit is now ready for
storage.
5. To prevent unauthorized use or damage, lock
up and store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated
area.
NOTE:
Remove the spark plug and drain
all of the oil from the cylinder before
attempting to start the trimmer after
storage.
