CHECK SPARK PLUG

See Engine Manual for specific information on

checking, cleaning, and changing the spark

plug.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Change the engine oil after the first 2 hours of

use, then every 25 hours or every season,

whichever comes first. Oil should be changed

when engine is warm.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire.

2. Clean area around oil cap.

3. Tip the string trimmer on its right side.

4. Place a container for the oil under the oil

cap.

5. Remove oil cap and let the oil drain. Tip

the unit more to drain all the oil from the

engine if necessary.

6. Place the unit upright.

7. Refill the engine with oil recommended in

the Engine Manual.

8. Replace and tighten oil cap.

9. Clean up any spilled oil.

10.Reconnect the spark plug wire.

CLEAN ENGINE COOLING FINS

Remove grass, dirt and debris from engine

cooling fins every 25 hours to prevent damage

caused by overheating.

REPLACING TRIMMER LINE

Replace the trimmer line when it extends less

than 4 inches (10.2 cm) from cutter disk. For

best results, use only genuine Ariens

replacement trimmer line.

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving

parts to stop. Disconnect the spark plug

wire and place it securely away from the

spark plug.

2. Remove the worn trimmer line from the

cutter disk.

3. Thread the two ends of the trimmer line

up from the bottom, through the two holes

in the cutter disk.

4. Cross the line and thread the ends of the

line through the two holes on the side of

the cutter disk.

5. Make sure the ends of the line extend

through the cutter disk at the same length.

Uneven trimmer lines cause the trimmer

head to be out of balance, which results in

excessive vibration.

6. Pull trimmer line tight.

7. If necessary, cut the ends of the trimmer

line to the same length.
