MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of
oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port
and muffler may become blocked with carbon deposits. If
you notice a power loss with your gas powered tool, a
qualified service technician will need to remove these
deposits to restore performance.
SPARK ARRESTER
The spark arrester must be cleaned or replaced every 25
hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your
product. Spark arresters may be in different locations
depending on the model purchased. Please contact your
nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrester
for your model.
Cleaning Instructions:
Remove the spark arrester from the muffler.
If your spark arrester is made of a fiberglass material,
discard and replace.
If your spark arrester is made of a metal material follow
these cleaning instructions:
1. Spray the spark arrester with a quality carbon
cleaner.
2. Gently clean using a wire brush.
3. Install the new or cleaned spark arrester and reas-
semble completely before use.
REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER (FIG. 16 & 17)
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter (43) clean.
1.
Remove the air filter cover (44) by pushing down on the tab (36)
with your thumb while gently pulling on the cover.
2. Remove the filter, clean it in warm soapy water. Rinse
and let dry completely. For best performance, replace
annually.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is
loosened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.
Replace fuel cap if required.
SPARK PLUG
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0,63 mm (.025
in.) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace
annually.

STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
1. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
petrol. Run engine until it stops.
2. Clean all foreign material from the trimmer. Store it in a
well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
3. Cover the blade with the blade protector before storing
the unit, or during transportation.
4. Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe
storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be
used up in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be
replaced immediately.
3. Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately
2.7 m (9 ft.) long.
4. Insert the first string (41) into the anchor hole (40) in the
upper part of the spool (34). Wind the first string around
the upper part of the spool counterclockwise, as
shown by the arrows on the spool (39). Place string in
the slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 152
mm (6 in.) extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill.
After winding the string, there should be at least 6
mm (1/4 in.) between the wound string and the
outside edge of the spool.
