Maintenance and storage
The engine shall be stopped when carrying out
maintenance and cleaning operations, when changing
tools and when being transported by means other than
under its own power.
Check regularly that all bolts and nuts are tightened.
Retighten if necessary.
The engine must be completely cooled before storing
indoors or covered.
If the machine unused for a period of time, please refer
to the instructions in this manual.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
Only use original spare parts or accessories. If not
original parts or accessories is used, the liability is no
longer applied.
Replace faulty silencers.
Miscellaneous
The gears are delivered pre-greased. However, always
ensure they are well greased before each use.
The motor is not pre-filled with oil.
Factory-fitted control devices, such as the handle-
mounted clutch cable, must not be removed or exposed.
Only drain the fuel tank outdoors. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the fumes are explosive.
Ensure that the machine is properly secured when
transported on a flatbed etc.
Reduce the throttle during engine shutdown and close
the fuel valve.

Assembly
Please follow the steps in figures 2-5:
1.
Mount lower handlebar with 4 bolts on the console. After
that mount the upper handlebar. The spacers need to be
on the inside. As shown on Fig. 2A
2.
Attach the clutch handles on the handlebar, as shown on
Fig. 2B. Cable which comes out from right side of
chassis, should be attached to right side of handlebar.
Equivalent for left side.
3.
Mount the wheels with the bolts shown on Fig. 3B. The
spacers need to be between the wheel and the bolt.
4.
Mount the engine protection cover with the 13 mm bolts
shown on fig. 3A.
5.
Fit the protection guard on the machines as shown on
Fig. 4.
6.
Mount trimmer line. Follow the procedure step 1-2-3 as
shown on Fig. 5.
The trimmer line must have length of max 52 cm and must
always be attached in sets. There must be attached trimmer
lines on both sides of the trimmer head.
Mounting the start cord in holder: Fig. 7A
1.
Pull gently the starter cord from the engine.
2.
Attach the starter grip on the rack of handlebar.
Fill the motor with engine oil.
See changing the oil section for more details.
Clothing
When using the machine, wear close-fitting work clothes,
hard-wearing work gloves, ear defenders and non-slip boots
with steel toecaps.
Safety zone
While the machine is being operated and the motor is
running, do not leave the operation zone marked with arrows
on Fig. 9. If it is necessary to leave the operation zone, for
example to attach an accessory, first stop the engine.
Starting and stopping the engine
Always check the oil level prior to use!
On engines with dipstick the oil level must always be
between the min. and max. On engines without dipstick the
oil must be visible to the edge on filler hole, when the engine
is horizontal position. Always use SAE-30 oil. Use only
unleaded E5 gasoline. Never over-fill the gas tank.
Start
2.
Pump the primer bulb 3-6 times. See Fig. 7B
3.
Set the switch on engine to "I". See Fig. 6.
4.
Pull the start cord to start the engine. See Fig. 7A.
Always feed the start cord back into the engine by hand.
5.
Activate the trimmer activation handle. Fig. 8A.
6.
Activate the self-propelled handle. Fig. 8B.
Stop
1.
Release both clutch handles.
2.
Set the switch on engine to "O". See Fig. 6.
Vibrations may travel up into the handle during
use. We therefore recommend taking a break,
every 2 hours.
Operating the machine
Remove all foreign objects from the work area before
using the machine. Stones, glass, branches and similar
items may damage the machine. Also check the bolts
are tightened.
Start the motor as per the instructions above. Stand
clear of the machine's moving parts.
Never attempt to move the machine in any way other
than intended for normal use while the motor is running.
KEEP A SAFETY DISTANCE OF 15 METERS.
The machine can work in almost any kind of vegetation. The
trimmer head turns clockwise which means that the machine
throws the harvested out on the right side.
The machine has a low center of mass and large wheels.
This makes it suitable for working on slopes with a gradient
of up to 15%. Warning: Avoid driving on slopes steeper than
15%, as the engine in such case will lack lubrication which
can result in a damaged engine.
The machine workload should match the trimmer capacity.
This is ensured by always keeping the same steady RPM on
the trimmer head. Avoid downspin in RPM. A downspin in
the RPM on trimmer head can be a sign on overload.
