9-6 When the engine does not start
If the engine does not start or flames flow back through the muffler even though you have pulled the starter many times, remove and check the
spark plug.
1. If the spark plug is dry, no fuel has been fed into the cylinder. Check the fuel pipe and carburettor.
2. Clean or replace the spark plug if they are wet or dirty.
3. If fuel has overflowed into the crank case, remove the spark plug, open the throttle and pull the starter 2 or 3 times
to remove excess fuel from the crank case.
CAUTION
1. Before trimming, check that all the safety devices are attached. The nylon cutting head is fixed securely, the 4mm Allen
wrench has been removed and the nylon cord is the appropriate length.
2. When using the trimmer, be sure to wear goggles, hearing protection and gloves.
10. TRIMMING
1.
Wear the harness and hold the brush cutter handle when starting or trimming as in Fig 19 for the Double Handles, or Fig. 19-1 for the
D-Loop Handle.
2.
Move the brush cutter attachment from right to left. Be careful of thrown objects. Fig. 20
3.
If you have to slant the nylon cutting attachment or blade cutting attachment downward make sure to tilt it towards the cutting side.
Take care not to drag the head on the ground.
4. When using the nylon cutting head the length of the nylon lines will decrease in normal use. To feed more line, with the machine running and
the head rotating, bump the head on the ground as shown in Fig. 21 and the line will automatically increase in length.
