How To Start The Engine
(Figure 5) Before each use, remove
1.
debris from the debris screen (3). Debris
can cause the engine to overheat. Wipe
the debris screen (3) with a cloth or
paper towel.
(Figure 10) Move the throttle control
2.
lever (1) forward to the START or FAST
position.
(Figure 9) To start a cold engine, push the
3.
primer button (1) five times. Wait two
seconds between each push of the
primer button (1).
NOTE: Do not use the primer to start a
warm engine.
(Figure 10) Firmly hold the recoil starter
4.
handle (2) with your right hand.
5. Pull back sharply on the recoil starter
handle (2). DO NOT allow the starter
rope to snap back. Let the starter rope
slowly rewind as you hold the recoil
starter handle (2).
NOTE: If engine fails to start after three
pulls, push the primer button two times and
again pull the recoil starter handle.
WARNING: Never leave the trimmer
unattended while the engine is
running. Wait for the trimmer lines to
stop rotating.
WARNING: Never run the engine
indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep
hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away
from the trimmer and any moving parts on
the engine. Avoid the muffler and
surrounding areas. Temperatures may
exceed 66°C (150°F).
Trimmer Tips
WARNING: Debris such as sticks,
gravel or rocks, can be thrown with
sufficient force to cause personal
injury or property damage.
• Set the throttle control in the FAST
position. If the weeds or grass are tall and
thick, operate the trimmer at a slower
walking speed.
• Frequently clean the underside of the
trimmer to remove any grass buildup.
• If the trimmer lines become too short, it
will take longer to complete the job. If the
trimmer lines are worn to less than half
their original length, change to a new
trimmer line. "See How To Change The
Trimmer Line" in the Maintenance section.
• Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. If
a slope is difficult to stand on, do not trim.
Do not trim on slopes when the ground is
slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a
slope, not up and down.
• Trimming may be done at slower engine
speeds especially when trimming around
flowers, shrubs, and small trees.
Operating at slower speeds will also
reduce engine noise and vibration at the
upper handle.

MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Illustrations and pictorials begin on
page 2.
Engine Maintenance
Use the following maintenance section to keep
your unit in good operating condition. All the
maintenance information for the engine is in
the engine manufacturer's instructions. Before
you start the engine, read this book.
WARNING: Before you make an
inspection, adjustment (except
carburettor), or repair, disconnect
the wire from the spark plug.
How To Lubricate The Jackshaft
Assembly (Figure 11)
A grease fitting (1) is provided to lubricate the
jackshaft assembly. Use a grease gun with
automotive type grease to lubricate the
jackshaft assembly.
How To Replace The Trimmer Line
(Figure 12, 13, 14)
For the best performance, use a heavy gauge
3.3mm diameter (0.130 inch) trimmer line (1).
Cut the length of the trimmer line (1) to 52cm
(20.5 inches). Do not allow the length of the
lines to vary more than one inch. This is
important to make sure the trimmer head is
balanced and does not vibrate.
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the
trimmer line (1), keep the trimmer line moist.
If not kept moist, the nylon trimmer line (1)
will become dry and brittle. Keep extra
trimmer line (1) in a can of water. The line
will then stay flexible and easy to change. A
flexible line will also last much longer.
How To Change The Trimmer Line
When the trimmer line becomes worn to half
the original length, replace the trimmer line as
follows:
1. Stop the engine. Wait for all moving parts
to stop.
(Figure 12) Remove worn trimmer line
2.
(1) from line retainer (3).
3. First, thread the ends of the new trimmer
line (1) through the outside loops.
(Figure 13) Next, take the ends of the
4.
line, cross over the line retainer (3), and
thread the ends through the center hole.
(Figure 14) Then, check to make sure
5.
that the ends of the line are even.
How To Adjust The Height Of The
Handle (Figure 15)
Use the knobs (1), on each side of the handle
(2), to adjust the height of the handle.
1. Hold the handle (2) with one hand and
loosen both knobs (1) until the ratchet
teeth (3) are disengaged. Do not remove
the knobs (1).

2. Move the handle (2) up or down to the
desired position, then align the ratchet
teeth (3). Make sure both sides of the
handle (2) are level.
3. Tighten the knobs (1).
How To Replace The Drive Belt
(Figure 16) To replace the drive belt (1), the
trimmer head (2) and shield (3) must be
removed as follows.
WARNING: Before you remove the
drive belt (1), disconnect the wire
from the spark plug.
(Figure 16) Remove the two fasteners
1.
that hold the rear of the shield (3) to the
trimmer housing (4).
2. Remove the four fasteners that hold the
front of the shield (3) and trimmer head
(2) to the trimmer housing (4).
3. Remove the "V" pulley (8) from the idler
bracket (9).
4. Raise the front of the trimmer housing
(4) and remove the drive belt (1).
(Figure 17) On some models to remove
5.
the drive belt (1), it is necessary to
loosen the mounting bolt (5) for the
drive pulley (6). Do not bend the belt
guides.
NOTE: Make sure you replace the drive
belt (1) only with a replacement belt
from the factory.
6. To assemble the drive belt (1), reverse
the above steps. Make sure all fasteners
are tight. Make sure the mounting bolt
(5) for the drive pulley (6) is tight.
7. Check the routing of the drive belt (1).
Make sure the drive belt (1) is inside of
all belt guides (7).
8. Before you begin to use the trimmer,
make sure the drive system will correctly
disengage and that the trimmer head will
stop rotating. If the drive system will not
disengage, take the trimmer to an
authorized service centre before you
operate the trimmer.
IMPORTANT: Test the drive system. Start
the engine and move the throttle control to
the FAST position. Engage and disengage
the trimmer head several times. When
disengaged, make sure the trimmer head
completely stops when resting on the
ground. If the trimmer head continues to
rotate, take the trimmer to an authorized
service centre.
Storage
WARNING: Do not remove petrol
while inside a building, near a fire, or
while you smoke. Petrol fumes can
cause an explosion or a fire.
When the trimmer is put in storage for thirty
days or more, follow the steps below to make
sure the trimmer is in good condition the
following season.
