ENGLISH
■ If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,
and remove the grass.
■ Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
■ Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear line rapidly.
■ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
line.
TRANSPORTING THE UNIT
■ Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
fuel. Run engine until it stops.
■ Push the On/Off switch to the “O” (off) position.
■ Allow the engine and exhaust to cool before placing
in the vehicle.
■ Secure the unit against falling or sudden movement.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories and attachments. Failure to do so can
cause possible injury, poor performance and may void
your warranty.
WARNING
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from
spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in serious personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust,
lubricant, grease, etc.
■ You may make adjustments and repairs described
here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by
an authorised service agent.
■ Consequences of improper maintenance may
include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of
performance and discharge of black oily residue
dripping from the silencer.
■ Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles
are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of
personal injury.
ACCESSING THE STRING HEAD
See Figure 13.
■ Rotate mow ball with hex bolt clockwise to loosen.
■ Remove mow ball with hex bolt from shaft.
To reattach mow ball:
■ Slide mow ball with hex bolt onto shaft.
■ Rotate counter clockwise to tighten.
CLEANING THE AIR INTAKE AREA
See Figure 14.
WARNING
If the air intake area becomes clogged, air circulation
will decreased and engine performance will be suffer.
To clean:
■ Stop the wheeled trimmer and disconnect the spark
plug wire.
■ Allow the unit to cool, if necessary.
■ Using a nylon brush, remove dirt and debris between
engine cover and fuel tank.
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 15.
WARNING
The cutting head will move when adjusting the idle
speed. Wear all protective clothing and keep all
bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
Make adjustments with the unit supported by hand
so that the cutting head does not contact the ground
or any object. Keep all parts of your body away from
the cutting head and muffler. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious personal injury.
If the cutting attachment turns at idle, the idle speed screw
needs adjusting on the engine. Turn the idle speed screw
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the
cutting attachment movement. If the cutting attachment
still moves at idle speed, contact a service dealer for
adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
