SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR

ISOPROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE

USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER

OR PERFORMANCE OF MACHINE.

Mixing Gasoline And Oil

IMPORTANT: The engine used on this

Trimmer/Brushcutter is of a two-stroke

design. The internal moving parts of the

engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin

bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact

surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline

for lubrication.

Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to

mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate

ratio will cause major engine damage which

will void your warranty.

For your fuel premix, use MARUYAMA

Premium two-stroke Oil Mix, or equivalent

ISO-L-EGD & JASO FD oil with a minimum

89 octane high quality gasoline. MARUYAMA

two-stroke oil is specially formulated to meet

the requirements of high-performance,

low-emission air-cooled two-stroke engines.

Use of other oils may lead to service issues

which may not be covered by your warranty.

Fuel Mixture

The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or

50:1.

50:1

10 ft. (3 m) minimum

— US-13 —

Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1

regardless of the oil package mixing

instructions. Ratios less than 50:1, (for

example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce the amount

of lubrication to the internal moving parts

of the engine and can cause damage.

Mixing Instructions

IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil

directly in the Trimmer/Brushcutter fuel tank.

1. Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container

approved for gasoline.

2. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for

the Trimmer/Brushcutter.

3. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the

container with half the required amount of

gasoline.

4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container

then add the remaining amount of gasoline.

5. Close the container tightly and shake it

momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the

gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the

Trimmer/Brushcutter.

6. When refilling the Trimmer/Brushcutter fuel tank,

clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and

debris from entering the tank during cap removal.

7. Always shake the premix fuel container

momentarily before filling the fuel tank.

8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to

reduce fuel spillage.

9. Fill the tank only to within 1/4-1/2 in. (6 mm-13

mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the

top of the tank filler neck.

Maintenance

Maintenance, replacement or repair of emission

control devices and systems may be performed by

any repair establishment or individual; however,

warranty repairs must be performed by a dealer or

service center authorized by MARUYAMA

Manufacturing Company, Inc. The use of parts that

are not equivalent in performance and durability to

authorized parts may impair the effectiveness of the

emission control system and may have a bearing on

the outcome of a warranty claim.

Maintenance on today's low-emission engines is

even more critical for longest life and best

performance. Particularly critical are air and fuel

filters, spark plug heat range, cooling air intake

area and proper gaps of coil and plug.

Idle Speed Adjustment

This Trimmer/Brushcutter is equipped with non-

adjustable fuel mixture carburetor. The engine idle

speed is the only adjustment for the operator.

The cutting head may be rotating during idle speed

adjustment. Wear the recommended personal

protective equipment and observe all safety

instructions. Keep hands and body away from the

cutting head.

When the throttle trigger is released, the engine should

return to an idle speed between 2700 - 3300 RPM, or

just below the clutch engagement speed. The cutting

head must not rotate and the engine should not stall

(stop running) at engine idle speed.

To adjust the engine idle speed, rotate the idle speed

adjustment screw on the carburetor.

• Turn the idle speed screw in (clockwise) to

increase the engine idle speed.

• Turn the screw out (counter-clockwise) to decrease

the engine idle speed.

If idle speed adjustment is necessary, and after

adjustment the cutting head rotates or the engine

stalls, stop using the Trimmer/Brushcutter

immediately!

Contact your local authorized MARUYAMA Dealer

for assistance and servicing.

WARNING

• Idle speed adjustment should be checked

each time the unit is operated.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Engine must be running to make carbu-

retor adjustments.

•

When engine is running, cutting head is

rotating and other parts are moving.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Contact with rotating cutting head or

other moving parts could cause serious

personal injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Keep hands, feet and clothing away from

cutting head and other moving parts.

•

Keep all bystanders and pets away

from unit while making carburetor

adjustments

often when working in extremely dusty

conditions.

• Replace after every 100 hours of operation.

Air Filter Cleaning

1. Loosen the knob and remove the air filter cover.

2. Remove the foam element and filter screen from

the air filter body.

3. Clean the foam element and filter screen with

warm, soapy water. Let the screen and element

dry completely.

4. Apply a light coat of motor oil (SAE 30 or

equivalent viscosity) to the foam element and

squeeze out all excess oil.

5. Reassemble the filter screen and foam element to

the air filter body.

6. Reinstall the air filter cover and tighten the knob.

Fuel Filter

Maintenance Interval

• The fuel filter should be replaced after every 100

hours of operation.

• Fuel filters needing more frequent replacement

may indicate debris in fuel tank.

Fuel Filter Replacement

The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick-up

hose inside the fuel tank.

To replace the fuel filter:

1. Make sure the fuel tank is empty.

2. Remove the fuel cap.

3. Using a wire hook, gently pull the fuel filter out

through the fuel filler opening.

Use caution not to “fishhook” the fuel hose.

Replace immediately if punctured!

4. Grasp the fuel hose next to the fuel filter fitting

and remove the filter, but do not release the hose.

5. While still holding on to the fuel hose, attach the

new fuel filter.

6. Drop the new fuel filter back into the fuel tank.

Spark Plug

Maintenance Interval

• The spark plug should be removed from the

engine and checked after each 25 hours of

operation.

• Replace the spark plug after every 100 hours of

operation.

Spark Plug Maintenance

1. Twist the high tension lead boot on the spark plug

back and forth a couple of times to loosen the

boot, then pull the boot off of the spark plug.

2. Remove the spark plug.

3. Clean the electrodes with a stiff brush.

4. Adjust the electrode air gap to .024-.028 in. (0.6-

0.7 mm).

5. Replace the spark plug if it is oil-fouled, damaged,

or if the electrodes are worn down.

6. Do not overtighten the spark plug when installing.

The tightening torque is 95-148 in∙lbs. (10.7-16.6

N·m).

7. Always use only the specific heat range of spark

plug. This is particularly critical with today's low-

emission engines. For best results, use the exact

replacement.

Cylinder Cooling Fins

Maintenance Interval

The cylinder cooling fins should be cleaned after every

25 hours of operation, or once a week, whichever

comes first.

Air must flow freely around and through the cylinder

cooling fins to prevent engine overheating. Leaves,

grass, dirt and debris buildup on the fins will increase

the operating temperature of the engine, which can

reduce engine performance and shorten engine life.

Cooling Fin Cleaning

1. With the engine at ambient (room) temperature,

loosen the knob and remove the air filter cover.

2. Twist the high tension lead boot on the spark plug

back and forth a couple of times to loosen the

boot, then pull the boot off of the spark plug.

3. Loosen the knob and lift off the cylinder cover.

4. Clean all dirt and debris from the cooling fins and

from around the cylinder base.

5. DO NOT overlook cleaning of the cooling air

intake area below the crankcase and above the

fuel tank! This area must be free of debris and

obstruction for the engine to cool properly.

6. Reinstall the cylinder cover and the air filter

cover.
