CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep trimmer free of built-up
grass and
trash. Clean the underside of your
trimmer after each use.
ACAUTION:
Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark
plug.
• Turn trimmer on its side. Make sure air
filter and carburetor are up. Clean the
underside of your trimmer by scraping
to remove build-up
of grass and trash.
• Clean engine
often to keep trash from
accumulating.
A clogged
engine
runs
hotter and shortens
engine
life.
• Keep finished
surfaces
and wheels
free of all gasoline,
oil, etc.
• We do not recommend
using a garden
hose to clean trimmer
unless the
electrical
system,
muffler,
air filter and
carburetor
are covered
to keep water
out.
Water in engine
can result in
shortened
engine
life.
