To Advance the Cutting Line
See Figure 8.
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
1. Run engine at full throttle.
2. Tap the knob on ground to advance line. The line advances
each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on the
ground.
Note: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector
will cut the line to the correct length.
Note: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop the
engine and manually advance the line.
To advance the cutting line manually:
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Push the knob in while pulling on line(s) to manually
advance the line.
