Operation
FUEL
Use mixed fuel whose mixture ratio is 50(gasoline) : 1(oil) and a proper lubrication oil for the 2-cycle engine.
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE! THE FUEL IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
STARTING
Move at least 3 meters away from the place of refuelling. Place the Hedge Trimmer on a clean area of ground make sure that the cutting
blades do not come into contact with the ground or any other objects.
Cold starting (When the engine is cold or it has been stopped for more than 5 minutes or when fuel is added to the engine.)
1. Push the I-O switch (1) to “I” position. (Fig.1)
2. Give a gentle push on the primer pump (A) repeatedly (7 to 10 times) until fuel comes into the primer pump. (Fig. 2)
3. Move the choke lever (B) to position “START” (Fig. 2)
4. Hold the unit down firmly so you will not lose control while cranking the engine. If not held down properly, the engine could pull you off
balance or swing the cutting blade into an obstruction or your body.
5. Pull the starter handle slowly for 10 to 15 cm, and check the location of pressure point.
6. Pull strongly when pressurization can be felt and start the engine.
7. When the engine starts, return the choke lever to “Run” (Fig. 3). Please note that the choke lever will return to “Run” position
automatically when the throttle lever is operated and the throttle is opened.
8. Run the engine for approximately one minute at a moderate speed before applying full speed.
Note:
•
If the starter handle is pulled repeatedly when the choke lever remains at “Start” position, the
engine will not start easily due to excessive fuel intake.
•
In case of excessive fuel intake, remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to
remove excess fuel. Also, dry the electrode section of the spark plug.
Hot starting: (Restarting immediately after the engine has stopped) When restarting a hot engine,
first try the above procedure:1,4,5,6. If the engine does not start, repeat above steps 1-8.
Note:
Do not pull the starter rope to its full extent and do not allow the starter grip to be retracted without control, ensure that it is retracted slowly.
