MAINTENANCE & REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool
before you clean or service it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not
use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as
kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off
any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an
open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or
damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use the
following storage procedure:
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container with the
same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that has been
stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old fuel/oil
mix in accordance to Federal, State and Local
regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put
1 oz. (30 ml) of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute
the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil
from the cylinder before attempting to start the
trimmer after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or
damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and
tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for
storage.
TRANSPORTING
• Allow the engine to cool before transporting.
• Drain fuel from unit.
• Tighten fuel cap before transporting.
