GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this trimmer does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence.
To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain trimmer as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments
will need to be made
periodically
to properly maintain your unit.
At least once a season, check to see if
you should make any of the adjustments
described
in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
•
At least once a year, replace the spark
plug and replace air filter element.
A
new spark plug and clean/new
air filter
element assure proper air-fuel mixture
and help your engine run better and
last longer.
•
Follow the maintenance
schedule in
this manual.
BEFORE
EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check for loose fasteners.
3. Clean under engine cover.
LUBRICATION
To prolong the useful life of your trimmer,
change engine oil as recommended
in this
section of Owner's
Manual.
IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease plastic
wheel
bearings.
Viscous
lubricants
will
attract dust and dirt that will shorten
the
life of the self- lubricating
bearings.
If you
feel they must be lubricated,
use only a dry,
powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
