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. 6-10).
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.
