CUTTER MAINTENANCE
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this cutter does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to maintain your unit properly.
All adjustments in the service and adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each
season.
• NEVER RUN AN ENGINE INSIDE AN ENCLOSED AREA!
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
CAUTION! Do not store engine indoors or other poorly ventilated area. Keep engine away from gas
appliances where fumes could contact open flame, pilot lights, or sparks.
If engine is to be stored for 30 or more days, prepare unit as follows:
• Drain fuel outside into an approved container.
• Start engine properly and run until unit is out of fuel.
• Let engine cool.
• Remove remaining gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming
within the engine. Gum deposits can malfunction the engine.
BEFORE EACH SEASON
• Replace the spark plug.
• Clean or replace the air filter.
• Check blades and belts for wear.
• A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and
last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level, on a level surface. (Check twice to insure an accurate reading.)
• Check condition of air filter; clean or replace if necessary.
• Check blade operation; keep blades in good condition.
• Check for loose fasteners and tighten them as needed.
BLADE CARE AND SERVICE
For best results cutter blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or
grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen blades while they are on the cutter. Disconnect spark plug wire
before servicing unit.
Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked.
Important: Check blades and spindle hardware on a regular basis to make sure nuts are tight.
Only a qualified mechanic
should be used for any
adjustments, disassembly or
other kind of repairs
