TO CHECK ENGINE LEVEL BEFORE EACH
USE
1. Separate the attachment from the power head.
2. Set power head on a flat level surface with shaft parallel to
surface.
3. Unscrew the oil cap and remove.
4. Lubricant level should fall within the top of oil fill hole (the
top of screw thread).
5. If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises
to the top of oil fill hole (the top of screw thread) and does
not overfill, Fig.9.
6. Replace and tighten the oil cap.
NOTE:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause
excessive smoke, oil loss and engine damage.
FUELLING AND REFUELLING THE TRIMMER
WARNING.
Petrol and its vapours are highly
flammable and explosive. To prevent serious personal
injury and property damage, handle it with care.
Keep away from ignition sources and open flames, handle
outdoors only, do not smoke and wipe up spills immediately.
Always shut off engine before fuelling.
Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.
Move at least 9 metres (30ft) from refuelling site before starting
engine. Do not smoke and stay away from open flames and
sparks. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely.
Failure to safely handle fuel could result in serious personal
injury.
Note: Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low,
refill with unleaded fuel carefully without overfilling and tighten
the fuel tank cap immediately.
This unit has a 4-stroke engine. Do not mix oil with petrol.
The use of old fuel is the most common cause of performance
problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded petrol (less than 30
days old).
Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state and local
regulations.
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit.
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater than 10%
ethanol) in this product. It will damage the unit and void your
warranty.
STARTING AND STOPPING
The trimmer should be laid out on a flat, bare surface for
starting.
TO START A COLD ENGINE
Turn switch to “I” ON postion.
Slowly press the primer bulb 5-10 times.
NOTE: After the 7th press, fuel should be visible in
the primer bulb. If it is not, continue to press the
primer until you see fuel in the bulb.
Push the choke button in to set the choke to
FULL CHOKE position. NOTE: Do not squeeze the
throttle trigger because the choke will pop out
automatically.
Pull the starter grip /cord until resistance is
detected. Rapidly pull 3 to 5 times or until you
hear engine turn over or begin to start.
If engine does not start, release choke by
squeezing throttle trigger and red choke button
pops out.
Engine is now in the run position.
Rapidly pull starter grip/cord until engine starts.
Allow the engine to run for 10 seconds, then squeeze throttle to
provide fuel to engine and use for intended task.
Note: The choke button is only used when starting a cold
engine. Never push the choke button in once the engine
has been turned over or run. Otherwise the engine could be
damaged or not run due to FULL CHOKE.
