OPERATION
FUELING AND REFUELING THE TRIMMER
FUEL MIXTURE
This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires
pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle oil. Pre-mix unleaded
gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil in a clean 1 gallon container
approved for gasoline.
Recommended fuel: This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use.
Mix a high quality 2-cycle engine oil at 2.6 oz. per
gallon (US).
Do not use automotive oil or 2-cycle outboard oil.
DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in a 30 day period.
FUEL MIXTURE
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and
the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable 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 dam-
age 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.
FILLING TANK
1. Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
2. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on a clean surface.
3. Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid spillage.
4. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
gasket.
5. 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!
