General Cleaning and
Tightening
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
When engine is running, cutting blade is
rotating and other parts are moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Contact with rotating cutting blade or
other moving parts could cause serious
personal injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Always turn off your Brushcutter before
you clean or perform any maintenance on
it.
The Toro Brushcutter will provide maximum
performance for many, many hours if it is maintained
properly. Good maintenance includes regular
checking of all fasteners for correct tightness, and
cleaning the entire machine.
Blade Sharpening
IMPORTANT: Replace any blade that is
worn, cracked or damaged.
IMPORTANT: Sharpen every tooth evenly so
the blade rotates smoothly. If you sharpen a
blade with a grinder, do not overheat the
blade, and do not quench a hot blade in water
to cool it.
Four-tooth Blade
Sharpen with a single-cut flat file (Fig. 24).
Eight-tooth Blade
Sharpen with a single-cut flat file and a round file
(Fig. 25).
80-tooth Blade
Sharpen with a single-cut flat file and a round file
(Fig. 26).
Storage
For long-term storage of the Brushcutter (Fig. 27):
1.
Empty the fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage
container.
2.
Pump the primer bulb on the carburetor until all
fuel is discharged through the clear fuel return
hose.
3.
Run the engine to remove any fuel that may
remain in the carburetor.
