From time to time ensure all screws are tight.
Replace damaged, worn, cracked or warped
blades. Always make sure nylon string head or
blade have been assembled correctly (see
sections NYLON STRING HEAD and BLADE
ASSEMBLY) and blade fastener is tightened.
1) AIR FILTER CLEANING
(at least every 25 working hours).
A dust clogged air filter may cause carburetor
problems.
This may prevent the engine from reaching its
maximum speed and cause high fuel
consumption and/or difficult starting.
Remove filter cover as shown in figure 1.
Carefully clean the inside of filter box. The filter
can also be cleaned with compressed air.
2) SPARK PLUG
From time to time (at least every 50 hours)
remove and clean the spark plug and check
the electrode gap (0,5/0,6 mm.). Replace
spark plug about every 100 working hours or
whenever it is extremely encrusted. Heavily
encrusted electrodes can result from an
incorrect carburetor setting or from wrong fuel
mixture (too much oil in the petrol) or a poor
quality of oil in the fuel mix. Check and correct.
3) FUEL FILTER
To change fuel filter remove the tank cap and
pull out the filter with a piece of bent wire or
long forceps. Contact your Service Station for
general servicing and cleaning of internal parts
at least once a year.This will reduce the
possibility of unexpected problems and will
ensure maximum product life and efficiency.
REGULARLY:
it is important, in order to avoid
engine overheating, to remove dust and dirt
from slots, gaps and from in between cylinder
fins using a wooden scraper.
LONG STORAGE:
empty fuel tank and run
engine until dry.
Store trimmer in a dry place.
