MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING
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
solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing
or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes
may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit in a dry place, locked up or up-high to
prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the
reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If the unit will be stored for an extended time, use the
following storage procedure.
1. Drain all petrol from the petrol tank and drain into a
container. Do not use petrol that has been stored for
more than 60 days.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and
put 30 ml (1 oz.) of any 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. Change the oil. See Changing the Oil. Dispose of the
old oil in accordance with Local regulations.
5. 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.
6 Store the unit in a dry place, locked up or up-high to
prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the
reach of children.
