6. Then, check to make sure that the ends of the line are even. (See Fig. 15)
7. Follow same steps for line on alternate side.
IMPORTANT:
To extend the life of the trimmer line, keep the trimmer line moist. If not kept moist,
the nylon trimmer line will become dry and brittle. Keep extra trimmer line in a can of water. The line
will then stay flexible and easy to change. A flexible line will also last much longer.
STORING THE TRIMMER FOR SHORT PERIODS
The trimmer can be stored for short periods of time (less than 15 days) without performing any storage
maintenance. Before placing the trimmer into storage always do the following:
1. Allow the engine to fully cool.
2. Ensure the grass bag is empty.
3. Clean all debris from under the cutting deck.
4. Store the trimmer on a flat and level surface with the trimmer upright.
5. Store in a safe place which is not accessible by children or people who are not familiar with the trimmer's
operation.
STORING THE TRIMMER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
If the trimmer is to be placed into storage for more than 15 days, storage maintenance must be performed
on the trimmer. If the following steps are not carried out, when you next operate the trimmer it may not start
correctly and may need to be serviced.
CAUTION!
Do not empty the gas tank in enclosed areas, near fire or when smoking. Gas fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
1. Empty the gas tank with a gas suction pump if available.
2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining gas has been used up.
3. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the housing.
4. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the paint.
5. Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
