2. Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. When the engine failed to start
after several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope, or remove the spark plug and
dry it.
STOPPING ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever and run the engine for a half minute.
2. Shift the ignition switch to the STOP position. (OP3)
NOTE
•
Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine while pulling the throttle lever.
TRIMMER HEAD USAGE
WARNING
1. Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head.
Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes and face and cause serious personal injury.
2. Keep the protection guard attached in place at all times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
•
Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting. You will achieve better results by not
crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its own pace.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted about 20
degrees toward the sweep direction.
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your right to the
left.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth. The rate of
cutting motion will depend on the material being cut. Heavy
growth will require slower action than will light growth.
4. Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of losing your
balance or control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather than placing the full workload on the arm
and hands.
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry, long-stem weeds from wrapping around the
head shaft. Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the
clutch system if repeated frequently.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
• Your brush cutters is equipped with a semi- auto type nylon line head that allows the operator to
advance the line without stopping the engine. When the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on
the ground while running the engine at full throttle.
• Each time the head is bumped, the line advance about 1 inch (25.4 mm). For better effect, tap the
head on bear ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick, tall grass as the engine may stall by
overload.
