CLEANING
Keep your machine clean.
Thoroughly clean the machine at the end of each use, paying particular attention to cuttings in and around the
guard and cutting tool.
• Clean any resin and plant residue from the blades using cleaning agent before & after using the machine.
• Check that the blade edges are not damaged or deformed. File away any burrs.
•
Check that the blades move freely.
•
Lubricate the blade bars with maintenance lubricating oil, before long periods of storage.
AIR FILTER
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency, increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive
particles to pass in the engine. Remove & clean the air filter regularly to ensure optimum performance.
• Remove the air filter cover, by releasing the securing winged screw from the front of the cover.
• Lift off the cover.
• Remove the sponge air filter from the housing.
• Tap the filter to remove light surface dust.
• Heavy deposits should be washed out of the Air Filter in soapy water. Allow the filter to dry completely.
FUEL FILTER
• The fuel tank is fitted with a filter. It is situated at the free end of fuel pipe and can be picked out through
the fuel filler neck, with a piece of hooked wire or similar.
•
Check the fuel filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter into the fuel tank. A clogged filter will cause
difficulty in starting the engine or abnormalities in engine performance.
• When the filter is dirty, replace the filter.
• When the inside of the fuel tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by rinsing the tank out with petrol.
STORAGE
• For years of trouble free service, make sure the machine is clean and dry before storing.
• Before storing, clean the machine thoroughly as indicated above.
• Store indoors or in a safe, locked protected area during severe weather and winter months.
•
DO NOT STORE in an enclosed area, where fuel vapors can reach an open hot flame.
•
DO NOT STORE fuel in the machine. Ensure fuel is removed from the fuel tank and carburetor.
•
If storing for an extended period, inspect, clean and repair the machine if necessary. Remove all fuel from
the fuel tank. Start the engine, this will remove all fuel from the carburetor and fuel lines. Remove the
spark plug, pour a small quantity of 2-stroke oil into the spark plug hole of the cylinder and re-seat spark
plug. Store in a clean, dry, dust free area.
DO NOT STORE fuel for longer than 30 days. Fuel can become stale and cause damage to the engine
carburetor, which is not covered by the machines manufacturer’s warranty.
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING & STORAGE
WARNING
Improper maintenance & storage of the machine may void your warranty. Keep the machine clean for better
and safer performance.
MAINTENANCE
• Before each use, check all nuts & bolts to be sure they are sufficiently tightened.
• We recommend only manufacturer original parts are used when maintaining this machine. Failure to do so
could invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty.
•
The engine must be switched off, with the spark plug cap removed, before the machine is unassembled,
cleaned, serviced or maintained.
POWER UNIT
ADJUSTING CARBURETOR
Do not adjust carburetor unless necessary. If you have trouble with the carburetor, see your dealer. Improper
adjustment may cause engine damage and void warranty.
SPARK PLUG
• Do not attempt to remove the plug from a hot engine in order to avoid possible damage to the threads.
• Clean or replace the plug if fouled with heavy oily deposits.
• Replace the plug if the center electrode is worn or rounded at the end.
• The spark gap should be 0.6-0.7mm (.023".028")
HEDGECUTTER
BLADES
The cutting blades can be protected and kept lubricated by periodically applying Maintenance Lubricating
Oil.
If a gap exists between the upper & lower blades, follow the below steps to adjust them, so that they are
closer together and cutting to their optimum performance.
•
Loosen locknut (A) as shown below, with a spanner.
•
Tighten nut (B) fully, and then loosen by a half rotation with a spanner.
• While holding the nut in position with a spanner, tighten the locknut with a spanner.
• Check to make sure, flat washer (C) is loose enough to be turned by your finger.
Tightening the nut too tightly may make it impossible for the blades to move. Conversely, not tightening the
nut sufficiently may make the blades feel dull and cause leaves and branches to become caught in the blades.
GEAR CASE
The gears are lubricated by Multi-purpose Lithium based grease in the gear case. Input new grease
EVERY 25
HOURS of use or more often, depending on the use conditions.
When adding lubricant, use a grease gun to insert the grease into the three grease nipples located on the gear
case.
