Gear Lubrication

For lubricating the ball bearings, it is necessary
to use a special „Gear Grease". The lubrication
has to be checked in regular intervals (approx.
every 50 operating hours - at heavy use, every
20 operating hours) and if necessary, be
replenished.
Remove the plug on the side. If the end of the
plug does not show any sign of oil, it is necessary
to replenish the lubricant (replenish with approx.
5 - 10 grams, (1/4 oz.) Order- No. 00 83 129.
Replace plug and tighten.

General Maintenance Hints
After the brushcutter has been in operation for
5 hours, all accessible screws and nuts (except
the carburetor adjusting screws), should be
checked, and if necessary, tightened.
• Damaged parts should not be fixed with
improper repair methods (welding, bending,
straightening, etc.).
• Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs should
only be conducted with the engine turned off
and the spark plug disconnected. Exception:
carburetor adjustments.
Maintenance Recommendations
• Maintenance jobs which are not described in
the owner's manual are only to be made by
an authorized Service Center. Only new parts
are to be used.
• Do not attempt to make any changes on the
brushcutter - your own safety can be
jeopardized.
• Do not perform maintenance or store unit near
open fires.
• When installing the cutting attachment, use
only original parts and tools.
• Check the fuel cap regularly for leaks. Use
only spark plugs that are in good condition.
Check plug wire for damage.
• Do not operate brushcutter with a broken or
o
.
damaged muffler (danger of fire, hearing
loss). Do not touch hot muffler.
Transport
11
During transport, and when changing cutting
location it is necessary to turn the brushcutter
off.
- Never carry or transport the brushcutter when
the engine is running.
- If the brushcutter is to be carried a long
distance, the metal cutting blade should be
covered for protection.
When transporting a brushcutter in
a vehicle, pay special attention that
fuel does not spill.
The fuel tank should be completely emptied for
extended storage or shipping.
When moving from one work area to another,
it is necessary to shut-off the engine. When the
brushcutter is transported and the carrying strap
is not used, it is necessary to secure the metal
cutting blade from contact (illustration 11).
