STOPPING
To stop the motor, simply
depress the stop switch
until the motor comes to a
complete stop. Fig 13
ADJUSTING TRIMMING
LINE LENGTH
Your trimmer is equipped
with a Bump Feed Cutting
Head that allows the oper-
ator to release more trim-
ming line without stopping
the motor.
To release additional line,
lightly tap the trimming
head on the ground while
operating the trimmer at
high speed. Fig 14
If excess line is released,
a blade in the guard will
automatically cut the line
to the proper length. Fig 15
NOTE:
Always keep the
trimming line fully extend-
ed. Line release becomes
more difficult as cutting line
becomes shorter.
CAUTION:
Do not remove or alter the line cut-
ting blade on the guard. Excessive line length
will cause clutch to overheat and may result in
serious personal injury.
REPLACING
EXHAUSTED CUT-
TING LINE
Remove bump head
knob by turning anti-
clockwise. Remove
spool and spring from
spindle. Fig 16.
Cut 2 x 2.2m lengths of
cutting line and insert one
end of each line into the
two spool holes as illus-
trated in Fig 17.
Wind cutting lines
clockwise as illustrated in
Fig 18, with each line sepa-
rated by the spool divider.
Wind to within
15 cm of the end of the
line.
Lock each end of the cut-
ting line into the slots
on opposite sides of the
spool as illustrated in
Fig 19
Install the spring over the
spindle. Insert each end of
the cutting line through the
eyelets in the cutting head
assembly and lower the
spool while feeding the line
as illustrated in Fig 20.
Once the spool is in place,
apply pressure on the spool
compressing the spring.
Pull each end of the line
sharply to unlock the line
from the slots. Continue to
apply pressure to the spool
until the knob can be
threaded clockwise onto the
spindle. Tighten the knob
securely. Fig 21.
QUICK FIT SYSTEM
Your Ryobi trimmer is
equipped with a Quick Fit
System, which enables
optional attachments to be
connected to your trimmer.
Ask your Ryobi retailer for a
list of available optional attach-
ments.
To replace the cutting head
with an optional attachment,
loosen the knob anticlock-
wise. Fig 22
Depress the release button
and remove the cutting head
shaft. Fig 23
Depress release button, and
insert shaft of optional add on
attachment. Fig 24
When the shaft clicks into
place, tighten the knob.
AIR FILTER
It is recommended that the air filter is cleaned
on a regular basis.To clean the air filter, depress the air fil-
ter cover latch and remove the cover. Fig 25.
Remove and wash the filter with soap and water.
Allow to completely air dry before replacing the filter.
After replacing the filter secure the air filter cover.
STORAGE
If the trimmer will be stored for an extended
period of time, use the following storage procedure:
1.
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container.
2.
Start the motor and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all the fuel has been drained from the carbure-
tor.
3.
Allow the motor to cool. Remove the spark plug and put
approximately 30ml of any high quality oil or 2 stroke oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute
the oil. Reinstall the spark plug. Leave the spark plug wire
off for storage.
4.
Inspect for any damaged or loose parts. Repair or replace
any damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
