BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
IS YOUR POWERHEAD READY TO GO?
For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations,
and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the powerhead to check its
condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the powerhead.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the powerhead is
level and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
Check the General Condition of the Powerhead
1. Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of
oil or gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler
and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and
screws are tightened.
Adjustment of the Carrying Harness
1. Wear the carrying harness so that the hip pad is on the right side of
your body.
• Make sure the harness does not twist.
• If the carrying harness is for both shoulders, firmly secure the
carrying harness latch on the front of your body until it clicks.
To unlock the carrying harness latch, pull the harness to the right
and to the left while pressing the latch.
Failure to properly maintain this powerhead, or failing to

Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each
operation and correct any problems.
Failure to wear the carrying harness while using the
powerhead could result in instability.
Injuries may occur due to instability.
