CLEANING & STORAGE
WARNING: Always turn off your trimmer before
you clean or perform maintenance on it. Failure
to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the trimmer.
Do not use strong detergents on plastic housing or han-
dle, as they can be damaged by household cleaners that
contain aromatic oils such as pine or lemon and by sol-
vents such as kerosene. Wipe off any moisture with a soft
cloth.
STORAGE
If the trimmer will be stored for an extended period of
time, use the following storage procedure:
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container.
2. Start the motor and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all the fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the motor to cool. Remove the spark plug and
put approximately 30ml of any high quality oil or 2
stroke oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark
plug. Leave the spark plug wire off
for storage.
4. Inspect for any damaged or loose parts. Repair or
replace any damaged parts and tighten loose screws,
nuts or bolts.
