OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to

Federal, State and Local regulations.

OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons

for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh,

clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for

the proper fuel/oil mixture.

Definition of Blended Fuels

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and

oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether).

Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%

water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It forms

acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel,

use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).

Using Blended Fuels

If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is

unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:

• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your

operator's manual

• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit

• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing

the unit

Using Fuel Additives

The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit

contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion

and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is

recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.

If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for

air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as

STA-BIL

Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz.

(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the

instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives

directly to the unit's fuel tank.

Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil

with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1

fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel

tank. See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing

ratios.

NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed

with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of

2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.

UNLEADED GAS 2 CYCLE OIL

1 GALLON US

(3.8 LITERS)

3.2 FL. OZ.

(95 ml)

1 LITER 25 ml

MIXING RATIO - 40:1

Add fuel in a clean,

well ventilated

outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel

immediately. Avoid creating a source of

ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine

until fuel vapors dissipate.

WARNING:

Gasoline is

extremely

flammable. Ignited Vapors may explode.

Always stop the engine and allow it to cool

before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke

while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open

flames at a distance from the area.

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap

slowly to avoid injury

from fuel spray. Never operate the unit

without the fuel cap securely in place

WARNING:

For proper engine

operation and

maximum reliability, pay strict attention to

the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the

2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed

fuel can severely damage the engine.

engine starts.

NOTE: The unit uses Spring Assist Starting™, which

significantly reduces the effort required to start the

engine. You must pull the starter rope out far

enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There

is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no

harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this

starting method is vastly different from (and much

easier than) what you may be used to.

5. When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle control

for 15 to 30 seconds. This will warm up the unit. The

Blue EZ-Start™ Lever will click off automatically

when you squeeze the throttle control.

IF... The engine does not start, go back to step 2.

IF... The engine stops while you are squeezing the

throttle, go back to step 3.

IF... The engine stops before you squeeze the throttle

control, hold the throttle control and pull the starter

rope until the trimmer starts.

NOTE: If you are having trouble starting the unit or are

operating in extreme temperatures (below 40º F,

above 90º F), refer to the Troubleshooting section.

be used in the primary hole only. Using the

wrong hole could lead to personal injury or

damage to the unit.

CAUTION:

Lock the release

button in the primary

hole (Fig. 10) and securely tighten the knob

before operating this unit.

CAUTION:

Before you begin

using any

attachment, read and understand the manual

that came with the attachment. Follow all

safety information contained within.

WARNING:

NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head™ on the ground

while the unit is running.

Some line breakage will occur from:

• Entanglement with foreign matter

• Normal line fatigue

• Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds

• Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence

posts

TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS

• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.

• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of

the line to do the cutting, especially along walls.

Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting

efficiency and may overload the engine.

• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from

top to bottom in small increments to avoid

premature line wear or engine drag.

•Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to

the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency.

Clippings are thrown away from the operator.

• Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting

area at the desired height. Move either in a forward-

backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter

lengths produces the best results.

• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.

• The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:

• Following the trimming techniques

• What vegetation is being cut

• Where vegetation is cut

For example, the line will wear faster when trimming

against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming

around a tree.

HOLDING THE TRIMMER

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position

(Fig. 12). Check for the following:

• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper

clothing

• With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s hand is

holding the shaft grip

• The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand

holding the D-handle

• The unit is at waist level

•

The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and

easily contacts the grass without the need to bend ove

ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH

The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to

release trimming line without stopping the engine. To

release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the

ground (Fig. 13) while operating the trimmer at high speed.

NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.

Line release becomes more difficult when the

cutting line gets shorter.

Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm)

of trimming line releases. A blade in the cutting

attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length if

any excess line is released.

For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or

hard soil. If you attempt a line release in tall grass, the

engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully

extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the

cutting line gets shorter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fig. 13

Fig. 12

DECORATIVE TRIMMING

Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all

vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at

a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 14).

Fig. 14

Do not remove or alter

the line cutting blade

assembly. Excessive line length will make the

clutch overheat. This may lead to serious

personal injury or damage to the unit.

CAUTION:

Always wear eye,

hearing, foot and

body protection to reduce the risk of injury

when operating this unit.

WARNING:

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Check Fuel Mixture

Old and/or improperly mixed fuel is usually the reason

for improper unit performance. Drain and refill the tank

with fresh, properly-mixed fuel prior to making any

adjustments. Refer to Oil and Fuel Information.

Clean Air Filter

The condition of the air filter is important to the operation

of the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow and

change the air/fuel mixture. This is often mistaken for an

out of adjustment carburetor. Check the condition of the

air filter before adjusting the idle speed screw. Refer to

Air Filter Maintenance.

Adjust Idle Speed Screw

If, after checking the fuel mixture and cleaning the air

filter, the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed

screw as follows:

1. Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a

minute to warm up. Refer to Starting/Stopping

Instructions.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air

filter/muffler cover (Fig. 30).

NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your

unit. An authorized service dealer should make

carburetor adjustments.

The cutting

attachment may spin

during idle speed adjustments. Wear

protective clothing and observe all safety

instructions to prevent serious personal injury.

WARNING:

damage to the unit and possible serious

personal injury.

WARNING:

SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE

NOTE: The exhaust can only flow in one direction: AWAY

from the engine. Pay close attention when

disassembling the muffler so you can put it back

together correctly. Failure to do so will damage

the unit and may cause serious personal injury.

1. Remove air filter/muffler cover. Refer to Removing

the Air Filter/Muffler Cover.

2. Locate the muffler, but do not remove it. Find the two

(2) screws on the bottom of the muffler (Fig. 29).

These two screws hold the Spark Arrestor Hood

Assembly and the spark arrestor screen to the

bottom of the muffler. Remove the two (2) screws

using either a torx #20 or flat blade screwdriver.

3. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, carefully pry up

the spark arrestor screen from the recessed hole,

taking care to notice that the “raised” part of the

spark arrestor screen is inside the recessed hole.

Remove the spark arrestor screen from the muffler.

4. Clean the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush.

Replace it if it is damaged, or if you are unable to

clean it thoroughly.

5. Reinstall the spark arrestor screen by putting the

“raised” portion of the screen inside the recessed

hole of the muffler. Make sure that the spark arrestor

screen fits flat against the muffler.

6. Place the spark arrestor plate on top of the spark

arrestor with the “raised” side up and the opening

facing towards the engine (Fig. 29).

7. Place the spark arrestor hood on top of the spark

arrestor plate with the “raised” side up and the

opening facing AWAY from the engine (Fig. 29). Verify

that the exhaust will be directed AWAY from the

engine.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING

Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit.

Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that

contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and

solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing

or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

STORAGE

• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an

open flame or spark.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing.

• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use

or damage.

• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.

• Store the unit out of the reach of children.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If you plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use

the following storage procedure:

1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container with

the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that

has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of

the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State

and Local regulations.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This

ensures that all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.

3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and

put 1 oz. (30 ml) of any high quality motor oil or

2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope

slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.

NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil

from the cylinder before attempting to start the

trimmer after storage.

4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose

or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts

and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is

ready for storage.

TRANSPORTING

• Allow the engine to cool before transporting.

• Drain fuel from unit.

• Tighten fuel cap before transporting.

• Secure the unit while transporting.

2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the

engine stops, insert a small phillips or flat blade

screwdriver into the hole in the air filter/muffler cover (Fig.

30). Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a

turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.

NOTE: The cutting attachment should not rotate when

the engine idles.

3. If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine

idles, turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise

1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed), to reduce idle

speed.

Checking the fuel mixture, cleaning the air filter, and

adjusting the idle speed should solve most engine

problems. If not and all of the following are true:

• the engine will not idle

• the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration

• there is a loss of engine power

Have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized service dealer.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

Use a Champion RDJ7Y spark plug, or equivalent. The

correct air gap is 0.020 inch (0.5 mm). Remove the plug

after every 25 hours of operation and check its condition.

1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the plug

wire firmly and pull it from the spark plug.

2. Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug

from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8-inch socket

counterclockwise.

3. Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air

gap at 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) using a feeler gauge (Fig. 31).

4. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder

head. Tighten by turning the 5/8-inch socket

clockwise until snug.

If using a torque wrench torque to 110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-

13.5 N•m). Do not over tighten.

0.020 in.
