CLEANING
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your
trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean
or do any maintenance on it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit.
Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that
contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and
such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or han-
dle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store the unit with gasoline in the tank where
fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use
or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If the unit will be stored for an extended time,
1. Drain all gasoline from the gas tank into a
container. Do not use gas that has been stored
for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old gasoline
in accordance to Federal, State, and Local
regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls.
This ensures that all gasoline has been drained
from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug
and put 1 oz. (30 ml) of high quality motor oil into
the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distrib-
ute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the
oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the
trimmer after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose
or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged
parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The
unit is ready for storage.
TRANSPORTING
• Allow the engine to cool before transporting.
• Secure the unit while transporting.
• Drain the gas tank before transporting.
• Tighten gas cap before transporting.
