TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY

To stop in an emergency, release control bail.

When all moving parts have stopped, push

throttle control lever to stop.

TO START AND SHUT OFF

ENGINE

Pre-Start

1. Check engine oil level. See Engine

Manual.

2. Check fuel level.

Starting the Engine

1. Push primer bulb 2 or 3 times for a cold

engine.

2. Set throttle control to Fast.

3. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out

slowly until it pulls harder. This is the

compression stroke. Let rope rewind

slowly. Then pull rope with rapid

continuous full arm stroke to start engine.

Allow rope to rewind slowly.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT let starter handle snap

against handlebar.

4. Repeat until engine starts. (If engine does

not start, refer to Troubleshooting.)

Stopping the Engine

1. Release control bail so that trimmer head

stops rotation. Wait until rotating parts

stop completely before leaving operator’s

position.

2. Push throttle control lever to Stop.

3. If leaving unit unattended, disconnect

spark plug wire to prevent start-up.

TO OPERATE THE TRIMMER

1. Start the engine.

2. Set throttle control to Fast.

3. Hold the control bail against the

handlebar to engage the trimmer head.

4. When trimmer head is rotating at full

speed, move unit forward to trim.

TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER WORK

AREA

When crossing driveways or bare areas,

release the control bail to stop trimmer head

rotation and push down slightly on the

handlebar to lift the trimmer head off the

ground. This prevents premature wear of the

trimmer head.

TRIMMING TIPS

• Operating the trimmer in Fast throttle

provides the best trimming performance.

• In heavy growth, walk slower.

• Do not push the trimmer into heavy

growth too fast.

• Do not trim on extremely steep slopes. Do

not trim on slopes when the ground is wet

or slippery. If you do not feel comfortable

on a slope, do not trim it.

• Keep the trimmer clear of dirt and grass

build-up.

• Install a new trimmer line when line is

worn to less than 4 inches (10.2 cm). See

Service and Adjustments.

TO TRANSPORT UNIT

ALWAYS turn engine off when transporting on

truck or trailer. Tie unit down securely. Do not

tie down by linkages, guards, cables or other

parts that may be damaged.

CAUTION: Before every use,

clean grass and debris from foam

debris screen and around muffler.
