Oil and Fuel

Section 4

Oil and Gas 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 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 Cub Cadet 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

Cub Cadet 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

32:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the

engine fuel tank. See Figure 4-1 for specific gas and oil

mixing ratios.

NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline

mixed with one 4 oz. (118 ml) bottle of Cub Cadet

2-CYCLE OIL makes a 32:1 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.

Operation (continued)

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.

• The right arm is slightly bent, and the hand is

holding the shaft grip.

• The left arm is straight, and the hand is holding the

D-handle.

• The unit is at waist level.

• The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and

easily contacts the vegetation to be cut without the

operator having to bend over.

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 is released. A blade in the cutting

attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length

if excess line is released.

For best results, tap the Bump Head on bare ground or

hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the

engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully

extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the

cutting line becomes 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 left to right whenever possible. Cutting to

the right 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 previous trimming techniques

• What vegetation is being cut

• Where it’s being cut

For example, the line will wear faster when trimming

against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming

around a tree.

LINE INSTALLATION

This section covers both Membrane line and standard

single line installation.

Always use manufacturer’s 0.105 inch (2.67 mm)

replacement line. Line other than specified may make

the engine overheat or fail.

Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain, or

rope, etc. These can break off and become a

dangerous projectile.

There are two methods to replace the trimming line.

• Wind the inner reel with new line

• Install a prewound inner reel

Winding the Existing Inner Reel

1. Hold the outer spool with one hand and unscrew

the Bump Knob clockwise (Fig. 6-1). Inspect the

bolt inside the Bump Knob to make sure it moves

freely. Replace the Bump Knob if damaged.

2. Remove the inner reel from the outer spool

(Fig. 6-1).

3. Remove spring from the inner reel (Fig. 6-1).

4. Use a clean cloth to clean the the inner reel, spring,

shaft, and inner surface of the outer spool.

5. Check the indexing teeth on the inner reel and

outer spool for wear (Fig. 6-2). If necessary, remove

burrs or replace the reel and spool.

NOTE: Membrane line can only be used with the

inner reel with the slotted holes. Single line can be

used on either type of inner reel. Use figure 6-3 to

identify the inner reel you have.

NOTE: Always use the correct line length when

installing trimming line on the unit. The line may

not release properly if the line is too long.

Single Line Installation

Go To Step 8 for Membrane Line Installation

6. Take approximately 30 feet (9.1 m) of new trimming

line, loop it into two equal lengths. Insert each end

of the line through one of the two holes in the inner

reel (Fig. 6-4). Pull the line through the inner reel so

that the loop is as small as possible.

7. Wind the lines in tight even layers, onto the reel

(Fig. 6-5). Wind the line in the direction indicated on

the inner reel. Place your index finger between the

two lines to stop the lines from overlapping. Do not

overlap the ends of the line. Proceed to step 11.

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 do any maintenance on it.

Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of

operation. It is an important item to maintain. Not

maintaining 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. 6-9).

2. Remove the air filter (Fig. 6-10).

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. 6-11).

5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil

(Fig. 6-11).

6. Reinstall the filter (Fig. 6-10) and air filter cover

(Fig. 6-9).

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 do any maintenance on 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. 6-12).

Maintenance (continued)

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. 6-14). 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:

• 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.

Fig. 6-14

Idle Speed Screw

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable by the screw

next to the air filter cover (Fig 6-14).

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 the unit not running properly. Drain and refill the tank

with fresh, properly mixed fuel prior to making any

adjustments. See Section 5, Oil and Fuel.

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. See Section 6, Maintenance.

2. Use a needlenose pliers to grasp the collar of the

spark arrestor and pull it out of the muffler (Fig. 6-13).

NOTE: Use only a needlenose pliers. Other pliers or

tools may damage the spark arrestor.

3. Clean the spark arrestor with a wire brush. Replace

if damaged or unable to clean thoroughly.

4. Reinstall spark arrestor. Use the needlenose pliers

to gently push the spark arrestor back into the

muffler until it snaps into place.

Fig. 6-13

Maintenance (continued)

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

such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or

handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

STORAGE

• Never store the unit with gasoline 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,

1. Drain all fuel from the gas tank into a container. Do

not use fuel that has been stored for more than 60

days. Dispose of the old fuel in accordance to

Federal, State, and Local regulations.

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

This ensures that all gasoline has been drained

from the carburetor.

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

and put 1 oz. (30 ml) of high quality motor 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 the gas tank before transporting.

• Tighten gas cap before 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. 6-15).

Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes.

Grit in the engine could damage the cylinder.

4. Install a correctly gaped 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.
