Maintenance
NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank and
keep the spark plug side of engine up. Never tip the
string trimmer mower more than 90 degrees and do not
leave the unit tipped for any length of time. Oil can drain
into the upper part of the engine causing a starting
problem.
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine
maintenance instructions.
• Check engine oil level before each use as
instructed in the separate engine manual packed
with your unit. Read and follow instructions
carefully.
• Replace air cleaner every 25 hours under normal
conditions or once a season. Clean every few hours
under extremely dusty conditions. To service the air
cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual
packed with your unit.
• The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap
reset once a season. Check engine manual for
correct plug type and gap specifications.
Threading Trimmer Line
WARNING: Always stop engine, discon-
nect spark plug wire, and ground against
the engine before threading trimmer line
on your string trimmer mower. Wait for the
trimmer line to stop rotating.
When the trimmer line becomes too short or worn,
change to a new trimmer line as follows:
• Remove the worn trimmer line and replace with
new trimmer line packed with your string trimmer
mower. Always use OEM-743-0112 when
purchasing additional trimmer line.
• Fold new trimmer line in half and thread the ends of
line through the loop from the inside out without
going all the way through the loop. See Figure 8.
• Slide the loop end of the trimmer line under the
metal tab and secure in place by crossing and
pulling tight on the ends of the line. See Figure 8.
