SECTION 4: OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

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: Add fuel in a clean, well-

ventilated outdoor area. Wipe up any

spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a

source of ignition for spilled 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 is the main reason for

improper unit performance. 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 fresh fuel mix per 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 only 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.

CAUTION: 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.

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.

Holding the Trimmer

WARNING: 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. See Figure 9. Check for the following:

• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper

clothing

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

operating the trimmer at high speed. See Figure 10.

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.

NOTE: Do not rest the bump knob on the ground while

the unit is running.

CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line

cutting blade assembly. Excessive line

length may make the unit overheat.

Some line breakage will occur from:

• Entanglement with foreign matter

• Normal line fatigue

• An attempt to cut thick, stalky weeds

•

Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts

Tips for Best Trimming Results

• For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.

• 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) tall 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-

to-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 refers to the removal of vegetation

around trees, posts, fences and more.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at

a 30° angle to the ground. See Figure 11.

Idle Speed Screw

Figure 28

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Carburetor Adjustment

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air

filter/muffler cover. See Figure 28.

NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your

unit. An authorized service dealer should make

carburetor adjustments.

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

WARNING: The cutting attachment will spin

during idle speed adjustments. 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 as

follows.

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

minute to warm up. See Starting/Stopping

Instructions.

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.

See Figure 28. Turn the idle speed screw in,

clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the

engine idles smoothly.

3. If the engine appears to be idling too fast, 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 this is not the case and the following are all 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.

WARNING: After turning the unit off, make

sure the cutting attachment has stopped

before setting the unit down. This helps

prevent serious personal injury.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

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 in. socket

counterclockwise.

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

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

See Figure 29.

CAUTION: 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.

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 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.

• Secure the unit while transporting.

• Drain fuel from unit.

• Tighten fuel cap before transporting.

Cleaning

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,

always turn your trimmer off and allow it to

cool before you clean or service 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.
