Maintenance

WARNING:

Use only Toro replacement parts when servicing 
this product. Use of any other parts may create a 
hazard or cause product damage.

Cleaning the Product

  Stop the product before cleaning.

  Clean the exterior of the product with a damp cloth.

  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.

  Wipe or scrape the trimmer head and spool area when 

they accumulate dirt or clippings.

  Scrape debris away from air intake vents on both sides of 

the motor housing.

CAUTION:

Keeping air intake vents free of grass and debris 
prevents motor overheating and possible failure.

 

Note: 

Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and 

amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, 
the exhaust port and muffler may become blocked with 
carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your 
gas powered tool, you may need to remove these depos-
its to restore performance. We highly recommended that 
only qualified service technicians perform this service. 

Servicing the Product

  Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or 

lost, repair it or replace it.

Do not wind the line beyond the 

edge of the inner ring.

slotted tabs on the spool.
