STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by
placing the choke lever in the OFF
CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to
clear the engine of excess fuel. This
could require pulling the starter handle
many times depending on hew badly
the unit is flooded,
If the unit still doesn't start, refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call
1-800-235-5878.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the engine
not be operated for longer than 1
minute at full throttle.
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
Eye Protection
Long
Heavy Shoe_
Cut fi'om your right to your left.
dl_ WARNING: Always wear eye
protection, Never lean over the trim-
mer head, Rocks or debris can rico-
chet or be thrown into eyes and face
and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
When operating unit, stand as shown
and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection and heavy
clothing,
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Keep unit below waist level.
• Cut only from your right to your left to
ensure debris is thrown away from
you. Without bending over, keep line
near and parallel to the ground and
not crowded into material being cut.
Do not run the engine at a higher
speed than necessary. The cutting
line will cut efficiently when the engine
is run at less than full throttle. At lower
speeds, there is less engine noise and
vibration. The cutting line will last
longer and will be less likely to "weld"
onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle
speed when not cutting.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Push and release the engine ON/
STOP switch.
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE
The trimmer line will advance approxi-
mately 2 inches (5 cm) each time the
bottom of the trimmer head is tapped
on the ground with the engine running
at full throttle.
The most efficient line length is the
maximum length allowed by the line
limiter.
Always keep the shield in place when
the tool is being operated.
To advance line:
• Operate the engine at full throttle,
• Hold the trimmer head parallel to
and above the grassy area,
• Tap the bottom of the trimmer head
lightly on the ground one time, Ap-
proximately 2 inches (5 cm) of line
will be advanced with each tap,
To advance line, tap bottom of trimmer
head on ground one time.
Always tap the trimmer head on a
grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such
as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-
cessive wear to the trimmer head,
If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5
cm) or less, more than one tap will be
required to obtain the most efficient line
length.
_WARNING: Use only 0,065 inch
(1,65 mm) diameter line. Other sizes
and shapes of line will not advance
properly and will result in improper
cutting head function or can cause se-
rious injury. Do not use other materials
such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire
can break off during cutting and be-
come a dangerous missile that can
cause serious injury.
CUTTING METHODS
_LWARNING: Use minimum
speed and do not crowd the line when
cutting around hard objects (rock,
gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can
damage the trimmer head, become
entangled in the line, or be thrown
causing a serious hazard.
