Cylinder Exhaust Port (Level 3)
Important: The cylinder exhaust port must be inspected and cleaned of excess carbon
every 3 months or 90 hours of operation in order to maintain this engine within the
emissions durability period. We strongly recommends that you return your hedge
trimmer to the address on the warranty card for this important maintenance service.
Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel break-in before
carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-in period your engine
performance will increase and exhaust emissions will stabilize. Idle speed can be
adjusted as required.
