household cleaners that contain aromatic oils
such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as
kerosene. Wipe off any moisture with a soft
cloth.
Storage
If the trimmer will be stored for an extended period of
time, use the following storage procedure.
1.
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and drain 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 a safe
manner and use a fresh mix.
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 approximately 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 for any
loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace
damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or
bolts.
The unit is now ready for storage.
5.
Store the trimmer in a dry, well-ventilated area
out of the reach of children.
