FUEL CAP
WARNING:
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loos-
ened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace
fuel cap if required.
SPARK PLUG
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with .025 in. electrode
gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.
MAINTENANCE
STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
See Figure 30.
n Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
gasoline. Run engine until it stops.
n Clean all foreign material from the trimmer. Store it in a
well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep
away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts.
n Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage
and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be used up
in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
n Always place the sheath on the saw bar when transporting
or storing the pruner. The sheath is a snug fit and must
be attached very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the
saw chain. This is best done by grasping the sheath at
one end, in the center portion of the sheath, and carefully
sliding it over the chain as shown below. Use caution to
avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
