Starting A Flooded Engine
1. Place the Trimmer on a flat surface.
2. Move the Ignition Switch to the “ON” position.
3. Squeeze and hold the Throttle Lever fully depressed and
pull the starter handle repeatedly until engine starts and
runs. This could require pulling the starter handle many
times, depending on how badly the unit is flooded.
4. If the engine still does not start, allow the unit to sit for
about 30 minutes, and repeat step 1-3.

If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual or:
Stopping The Trimmer:
C
The Trimmer head and line will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has stopped.
CAUTION
During the first ten (10) hours of use, use the slowest engine speed which allows for effective cutting and avoid operation
at high engine speeds for extended periods of time.
This will maximize the life and performance of your Trimmer’s engine. Maximum power will be achieved after the first ten
(10) hours of engine operation.
The Trimmer is most effective when the Trimmer line is
advanced to full cutting width. To advance the Trimmer line:
1. Hold bottom of Trimmer Head parallel to grassy surface
(see Figure 14).
2. With the engine at full throttle, firmly tap or bump the
Trimmer Head on the ground.
3. Trimmer line will be advanced with each tap or bump.
4. Continue to advance Trimmer line until you reach full
cutting width (i.e. when the Trimmer line is cut by the
Trimmer Line Knife).
