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.
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.
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel
spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap
securely in place.
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated area outdoors.
Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid
creating a source of ignition for spilt fuel. Do not
start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
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.
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.
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.

Operation (continued)
Fig. 5-4
Fig. 5-5
Fig. 5-6
Holding the Trimmer
Always wear eye, hearing, foot and body
protection to reduce the risk of injury when
operating this unit.
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Fig. 5-4). 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
r
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. 5-5) while operating the trimmer at high speed.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more
difficult as cutting line becomes 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.
NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head on the ground
while the unit is running.
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.
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.
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. 5-6).
11
NOTE: Maintenance, replacement or repair of the
emission control devices and system may be
performed by any non-road engine repair
establishment, individual or authorized
service dealer.
In order to assure peak performance of your engine,
inspection of the engine exhaust port may be necessary
after 50 hours of operation. If you notice lost RPM, poor
performance or general lack of acceleration, this service
may be required. If you feel your engine is in need of this
inspection, refer service to any non-road engine repair
establishment, individual or authorized service dealer for
repair. DO NOT attempt to perform this process yourself
as engine damage may result from contaminants
involved in the cleaning process for the port.

Air Filter Maintenance
Cleaning the Air Filter
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your
trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or
service it.
Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of operation.
It is an important item to maintain. Failure to maintain the
air filter will VOID the warranty.
1. Remove the carburetor/air filter cover by pushing on
the tab on top of the cover (Fig. 6-10).
2. Remove the air filter (Fig. 6-11).
3. Wash the filter in detergent and water. Rinse the
filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4. Apply enough clean SAE 30 motor oil to lightly coat
the filter (Fig. 6-12).
5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil
(Fig. 6-12).
6. Reinstall the filter (Fig. 6-11) and air filter cover
(Fig. 6-10).
NOTE: If the unit is operated without the air filter, you
will VOID the warranty.
Spark Arrestor Maintenance
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your
trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or
service it.
1. Turn the powerhead so the back of the engine is
facing forward. In this position, the starter rope is to
the left (Fig. 6-13).

2. Use a needle-nose pliers to grasp the collar of the
spark arrestor and pull it out of the muffler (Fig. 6-14).
NOTE: Use only a needle-nose pliers. Other pliers or
tools may damage the spark arrestor.
3. Clean the spark arrestor with a wire brush. Replace it if
it is damaged or if you are unable to clean it thoroughly.
4. Reinstall spark arrestor. Use the needle-nose pliers
to gently push the spark arrestor back into the
muffler until it snaps into place.
Carburetor Adjustment
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable by the screw
next to the air filter cover (Fig 6-15).
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage
your unit. An authorized service dealer
should make carburetor adjustments.
Fig. 6-14
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
The cutting attachment may be spinning during
idle speed adjustment. Wear protective clothing
and observe all safety instructions to prevent
serious personal injury.
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.
2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If
the engine stops, insert a small phillips or flat blade
screwdriver into the screw next to the air filter cover
(Fig. 6-15). 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 screw should solve most engine
problems. If not and all 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.

Cleaning
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your
trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or
do any maintenance on it.
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 the unit with fuel in the tank 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 the unit will be stored 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.

Replacing the Spark Plug
Use a Champion RCJ6Y spark plug (or equivalent). The
correct air gap is 0.025 inch (0.655 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 the cap from the spark plug.
2. Clean dirt from around the spark plug. Remove the
spark plug from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8
inch socket counterclockwise.
3. Replace cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the
air gap at 0.025 inch (0.655 mm) using a feeler gauge
(Fig. 6-16).
Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes. Grit
in the engine could damage the cylinder.
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.
