OPERATION
■
Keep gasoline and oil away from the eyes. If gasoline
or oil comes in contact with the eyes, wash them
immediately with clean water. If irritation is still
present, see a doctor immediately.
■
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
MIXING THE FUEL
■
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and
requires pre-mixing gasoline and 2-stroke oil. Pre-mix
unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil in a clean
container approved for gasoline.
■
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline intended for automotive use with an octane
rating of 87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.
■
Do not use any type of pre-mixed gasoline/oil from fuel
service stations, this includes the pre-mixed gasoline/oil
intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.
■
Use high a quality 2-stroke self mixing oil for air
cooled engines. Do not use automotive oil or 2-stroke
outboard oil.
■
Mix the 2-strock oil into the Petrol at a 50:1 ratio.
■
Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before
fueling.
■
Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger
than usable in a 30 day period. A 2-stroke oil
containing a fuel stabilizer is recommended.
FILLING THE TANK
■
Clean surface around fuel cap (23) to prevent
contamination.
■
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
■
Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid
spillage.
■
Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
gasket.
■
Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe
up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m (30 ft.) away from
refueling site before starting engine.
Note:
It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new
engine during and after first use.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add
fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.
Move at least 9 m (30 ft.) from refueling site
before starting engine. Do not smoke!

OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 9)
Hold the trimmer/brushcutter with the right hand on the
trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep
a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer
should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger
handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from
the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
around the shaft housing and string head which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the string head, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil
dripping from the muffler.
ADVANCING THE STRING
ADVANCING STRING USING THE EZ LINE™ TAP
ADVANCE SYSTEM
String advance is controlled by tapping string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
■
Run engine at full throttle.
■
Tap string head on ground to advance string. String
advances each time the head is tapped.
■
Several taps may be required until string strikes the
cut off blade.
■
Resume trimming.
Note:
If the string is worn too short you may not be
able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground.
If so, STOP THE ENGINE, and manually advance
the string.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to
manually advance the string.
