Adjustment of the cutting height
Follow the adjustment procedure as shown in Fig. 9
It is possible to adjust the cutting height on the trimmer head
in several positions between 45-90 mm.
To adjust the trimmer height, you have to loosen the two 4
mm allen screws shown in Fig. 9. Then you can adjust the
trimmer head up and down. Tighten both screws again once
the wanted cutting height is chosen.
Cleaning
The machine should be cleaned after use. Use a garden
hose to wash off soil and dirt. Remove the trimmer head from
the trimmer axel to remove wedged grass etc. from the rotor
shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a
damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-
pressure washer during cleaning.
Changing the oil
The oil should initially be changed after the first 5 hours of
use, and thereafter once per year. Use an oil extractor kit.
1. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the
syringe. Use the hose to reach the sump.
2. Transfer the used oil to the container.
3. Fill the engine with new SAE-30 oil.
4. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
Remember to dispose of used oil in a safe way.
Oil and oil extractor kit are not included
