WARNING
• When draining fuel, please be careful not to spill it. If
fuel is spilt, wipe off thoroughly. In addition, please be
sure to close the storage container cap tightly.
IMPORTANT
• If fuel is left in the engine for protracted periods, the
inside of the carburetor may become clogged and
cause engine malfunction (faulty starting and insuffi-
cient output).
• During storage, slightly loosen the cap of the fuel tank.
If screwed too tightly, the gasket may become dis-
torted.
On completion of all work procedures, when not plan-
ning to use again for a protracted period please carry
out the following pre-storage care, to prevent trouble
caused by time-lapse changes.
1. Remove dirt from the pump, inspect it for any dam-
age or looseness, and, if any abnormality is found,
correct it thoroughly in preparation for the next time
you use the unit.
10. Storage
11. Disposal
When disposing your machine, fuel or oil for the machine,
be sure to allow your local regulations.
2. Drain the fuel tank and fill the pump with water
3. Start the engine, and leave it in idling condition until
all the fuel inside the carburetor is spent and the en-
gine comes to a natural stop.
4. Remove the spark plug and put a few drops (1 to 2 cc)
of 2-cycle oil inside the engine. After pulling the starter
rope 2 or 3 times, return the spark plugs to their origi-
nal position and stop in compressed position.
5. Drain water from the pump completely, and wipe off
water on the pump using dry cloth.
6. After oiling the throttle lever and other metal parts with
anti-corrosive oil, cover the pump and store indoors
in a low-humidity location.
9. Maintenance
INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
WARNING
•
Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs with
your bare hands immediately after stopping the en-
gine. The engine can become very hot when in op-
eration, and doing so could result in severe burns.
•
When checking the machine to make sure that it
is okay before using it, check the area around the
muffler and remove any wood chips or leaves
w h i c h h a v e a t t a c h e d t h e m s e l v e s t o t h e
brushcutter. Failing to do so could cause the muf-
fler to become overheated and that in turn could
cause the engine to catch on fire. Always make
sure that the muffler is clean and free of wood
chips, leaves, and other waste before use.
• Check the intake air cooling vent and the area
around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25 hours
of use for blockage. Note that it is necessary to re-
move the upper cover and the lower cover in order
to be able to view the upper part of the cylinder.
IMPORTANT
•
If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the
intake air cooling vent or between the cylinder fins, it
may cause the engine to overheat, and that in turn
may cause mechanical failure on the part of the
brushcutter.
