FILLING TANK
n Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
n Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on a clean surface.
n Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid spillage.
n Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
gasket.
n Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up
any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine
after first use.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 30
ft. (9 m) from refueling site before starting engine. Do not
smoke!
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 8.
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The
use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose
the user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn
injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a com-
fortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the
top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the
shaft housing and string head which may cause damage from
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string
head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,
and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle
will result in oil dripping from the muffler.
