Gasoline grass trimmer
Clean the filter after every 25 hours or more regularly if operating conditions are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in clean, warm soapy water. Ensure
that the filter is dry before refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never be cleaned
completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the filter from time to time with a new filter. A
damaged air filter must always be replaced.
Drive shaft
The drive shaft is lubricated with grease. The shaft must be lubricated at least every 25 working
hours.
Lift up the locking button that holds the drive shaft sleeve in the clutch cover.
Remove the clip that holds the throttle cable on the drive shaft.
Pull the drive shaft sleeve out of the clutch cover.
Remove the drive shaft from the sleeve either by shaking it out or pulling it out using pliers.
Coat the surface of the shaft with grease from the tube. Spread it out using a brush or rag.
Slide the drive shaft back into the sleeve. Make sure the shaft engages correctly by turning it and
pushing at the same time.
When the shaft is correctly installed in the sleeve the end of the shaft should project about 10 mm
beyond the edge of the sleeve.
Rotate the shaft and push it in at the same time.
Install the drive shaft sleeve in the clutch cover so that the hole is positioned directly underneath
the locking button on the clutch cover.
Angle gear
The angle gear is filled with a sufficient quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the
machine you should check that the angle gear is filled to 3/4 with grease. Normally, the grease does
not need to be changed except when the angle gear is repaired.
Maintenance schedule
Below follows some general maintenance instructions.
If you need further information please contact your service
workshop.
Daily maintenance
1. Clean the outside of the machine.
2. Make sure the harness is not damaged.
3. Make sure the throttle trigger lock and the throttle function
correctly from a safety point of view.
4. Check that the stop switch functions.
5. Check that the cutting head does not rotate while idling.
6. Clean the air filter. Replace if necessary.
7. Check the guards for damage and ensure that they are not
cracked. Replace the guards if they have been exposed to impact
or are cracked.
8. Check that the blade is well centred, is sharp, and is not
cracked. An uncentred blade causes vibrations that can result in
damage to the machine.
9. Check that the trimmer head is undamaged and not cracked.
Replace the trimmer head if necessary.
10. Check that the locking nut is tight.
11. Check that all nuts and screws are tightened.
