TRIMMER MNE
For best results, replace trimmer Lines
when they have worn to half their original
length. Use .155 inch diameter trimmer
line. Cut new tdmmer line length to 18-3/4
inches. After new line is installedon
tdmmer head, check all lines so they do
notvary more then one (1) inch in length.
Thisis important to make sure the trimmer
head is balanced and will notv{brate
abnormally.
A.WARNING: Use onlythe specified
trimmer line. Do not use other materials
suchas wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can
break off duringtrimming and become a
dangerous missile that can cause serious
injury.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with spark plug.
2. Remove worn trimmer line from line
carrier plate.
3. Fold new, cut to length, trimmer line in
half and insert folded end through
carrier plate opening to back side of
retainer clip.

retainer clip, pull line outward until
line is fully seated under the retainer
clip.
5. Repeat on other side of carrier plate.

same length.

ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SF-SJ.
Select the oil's ShE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating
temperature.
NOTE: Although multiwiscosity oils
(5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32°F. Check your
engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running
low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or at least once a year if the
unit is not used for25 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before
starting the engine and after each five (5)
hours of continuous use. Tighten oil plug
securely each time you check the oil
level.
