Service

The operation of any mower can encounter foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in

severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over

spectacles before starting any cutting machine and while operating such a machine.

The operation of any mower produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear

protection is recommended.

CAUTION!

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children

are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children

will remain where you last saw them.

Do not operate the trimmer if it vibrates abnormally. Excessive vibration is a sign of damage.

Stop the engine and safely check for damage and repair as required.

Preparing Unit For First Use

Operation

Trimming Tips

Important! To ensure proper operation, clean the engine and trimmer

regularly. Remove any build up of chaff from the top of the engine.

• Fill engine crankcase with oil. A bottle has been provided with this unit. DO

NOT OVERFILL.

• Fill the engine fuel tank with gasoline. GASOLINE SHOULD BE ADDED

OUTSIDE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.

• Check to ensure string has been installed properly. A diagram is provided just

above the wheel for proper installation.

• Do not lift the trimmer head when trimming. Let the head rest lightly touching the ground.

• Keep an eye on the length of the trimmer line. As the line gets shorter they become less

effective at cutting and will take longer to trim properly. Replace the line as necessary (see

Installing Trimmer Line).

• Do not trim wet grass.

• Use caution when trimming slopes.

• Use the proper length on line. Using a line too long for the unit will cause stalling and

unacceptable operation.

Troubleshooting

•If engine will not start, remove and check air filter to make sure filter and

carburetor are clean.

Installing Trimmer Line

•Loosen the trimmer tilt clamp lever (clockwise)

•Tilt head to desired position.

•Tighten trimmer tilt clamp lever (counter-clockwise).

•Adjust lower trimmer shield to keep debris from coming back at operator.

Offset Trimming:

The trimmer head may be offset to the left or right to allow trimming under bushes, etc.

To Offset:

•Stop unit.

•Raise offset lever.

•Push or pull handles to achieve desired offset.

•Release offset lever. Make sure head has locked into position.

•Adjust lower trimmer shield to keep debris from coming back at operator.
