■ ENGINE
• Using attached 4 socket screws, secure the
connection firmly with equal force.
■ HANDLE
1. Loosen the 4 bolts on the upper cap and
insert the handles equally. Retighten the
bolts.
2. Put the handle assembly into the bracket
and put the upper cap over it. Tighten the
cap securely.
■ PROTECTOR
Wrap the protector around the outer pipe as
shown in the figure, and fasten the magic
fastener.
(1) Protector
■ BLADE GUARD
Attach the guard on the outer pipe. Fix it with 2
bolts.
■ INSTALLING BLADE
Remove the guard skirt of debris guard,
when using metal blade.
1. Put the angled bar(1) into the side holes of
the inner holder and the gearcase.
2. Remove the nut(Left-handed) and the outer
holder(3) from the gearshaft.
3. Put the blade onto the inner holder(2). Make
the marked side face the holder.
4. Put the outer holder(3) onto the gearshaft
making the recessed side face the blade.
5. Fasten the blade by the nut.
■ BALANCE UNIT
1. Put on strap and attach unit to strap.
2. Slide clamp up or down until unit balances
with head aparting from the ground when
using it.
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid
smoking or bringing any flame or sparks
near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine
and allow it cool before refueling the
unit. Select outdoor bare ground for
fueling and move at least 3m (10ft) away
from the fueling point before starting the
engine.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50:OIL 1
(when using ZENOAH genuine oil)
• The Zenoah engines are lubricated by oil
specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle
gasoline engine use. If Zenoah oil is not
available, use an anti-oxidant added quality
oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle
engine use. (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO
EGC GRADE)
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-
cooling type) mixed oil.
• Exhaust emission are controlled by the
fundamental engine parameters and
components (eq., carburation, ignition
timing and port timing) without addition
of any major hardware or the introduction
of an inert material during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 89 RON (USA/Canada:
87AL)
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value
than prescribed, there is a danger that the
engine temperature may rise and an engine
problem such as piston seizing may
consequently occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to
reduce the contamination of the air for the
sake of your health and the environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the
engine.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and
oil to be mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean,
approved fuel container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour In the rest of gasoline and agitate again
IMPORTANT
WARNING
■ STARTING ENGINE
The cutting head will start rotating upon the
engine starts.
1. Feed fuel into the fuel tank and tighten the
cap securely.

for at least one minute. As some oils may be
difficult to agitate depending on oil
ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary
for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if
the agitation is insufficient, there is an
increased danger of early piston seizing due
to abnormally lean mixture.
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the
container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or
other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container
for easy identification.
■ FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the
cap on a dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full
capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up
any fuel spillage around the unit.
1. Select bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10feet (3meters) away from
the fueling point before starting the
engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit.
At that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate
the mixed gasoline in the container.
FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID;
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL(RAW GASOLINE) – It
will cause severe damage to the internal
engine parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of
rubber and/or plastic parts and disruption of
engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can
cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port
blocking, or piston ring sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused
for a period of one month or more may
clog the carburetor and result in the
engine failing to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long
period of time, clean the fuel tank after
rendering it empty. Next, activate the engine
and empty the carburetor of the composite
fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil
container, scrap it only at an authorized
repository site.
