OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER

MARUYAMA brushcutters are designed and tested to cut nearly all grasses, thick weeds and brush. As you
continue to use the equipment, many tasks will become easier.
CAUTION-Adjust the debris shield to a position that does not make contact with the blade or trimming line,and
shields the operator from thrown debris.
CAUTION-Read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS concerning the proper use of the brushcutter on page(US-1).
CAUTION-Observe all warnings that appear on the brushcutter.
CAUTION-Use only the correct blade approved for the task and the machine.
CAUTION-Always use the Shoulder Harness when operating a brushcutter with a metal blade.The brushcutter
must be positioned to the right side of the operator when used with a metal blade.
CAUTION-Always make certain the blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction and that all holding and
fastening parts are correctly secured.
CAUTION-Remove the holding tool (4mm Hex Wrench ) before operating the equipment!
CAUTION-Do not continue to use a blade that is dull, damaged, or that vibrates during use. Whenever a cut-
ting blade becomes clogged with debris, immediately stop the machine and clean the blade.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

AIR FILTER
The air filter should be cleaned each time the brushcutter is used. (Or
more often with extreme conditions.) Remove the filter cover and take
out the element. Wash the element in kerosene or warm detergent, then
squeeze it dry. Apply oil (#30 wt.) to foam, removing all excess oil. As-
semble and reinstall the element and filter cover.
SPARK PLUG
The spark plug should be removed from the engine and checked after
each 25 hours of operation. The tips can be cleaned with a stiff brush.
Adjust the gap to 0,6-0,7mm (see sketch). Replace the spark plug if it
is oil fouled or damaged, the average spark plug life is approximately
100 hours.
CAUTION-Do not overtighten the spark plug. The correct torque is
10.7-16.6N . m(100 -160 kgf . cm)
