MAINTENANCE
REPLACING TRIMMING LINE-STANDARD HEAD
Turn knob (A) COUNTERCLOCKWISE and remove (Fig. 7A). Use knob spanner
supplied.
Remove spool (B) and spring (C) from spindle (D).
Remove any remaining trimming line (H).
Double a 4.3 m (14’) length of 2 mm (0.80’’) trimming line. Place the looped
center in one of the slots of the spool divider (Fig. 7D).
Wind trimming line clockwise as shown in illustration (Fig. 7C), keeping
tension, with each half separated by the spool driver. Wind to within 15 cm (6”)
of the ends.
Lock each end of line (H) into a slot (F) on opposite sides of the spool (Fig. 7D).
Install the spring( C) over the spindle (D). Insert each end of the line through the
eyelets (G) in the housing (E) (Fig. 7E).
Lower the spool into the housing (E) while feeding the line through the eyelets
(G). Ensure the spring seats itself into the spool (Fig. 7E).
Once the spool is in place, apply pressure on the spool compressing the spring.
Pull each end of the line (H) sharply to unlock the line from the slots (Fig. 7F).
Continue to apply pressure to the spool until the knob can be threaded clockwise
onto the spindle. Tighten the knob securely by hand only (Fig. 7G).
Trim the excess line to approximately 13 cm (5”). This will minimize load on the
engine during starting and warm-up.
AIR FILTER
Never operate trimmer without the air filter.
The air filter must be kept clean.
If it becomes damaged, install a new filter.
To clean air filter:
Press down on tab that is holding the air filter cover in place.
Remove cover and lift filter from air box.
Wash the filter in soap and water. DO NOT use gasoline!
Air-dry filter.

FUEL FILTER (FIG. 8)
WARNING:
Remove fuel from unit and store in approved container before starting
this procedure. Open fuel cap slowly to release any pressure which may have
formed in fuel tank.
Lift fuel line and filter out of tank. A steel wire with a hook or a paper clip works
well.

engine damage could result!
