FILLING TANK

n Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.

n Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on a clean surface.

n Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid spillage.

n Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the

gasket.

n Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up

any fuel spillage.

NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine

after first use.

WARNING:

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to

a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 30

ft. (9 m) from refueling site before starting engine. Do not

smoke!

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

See Figure 8.

WARNING:

Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The

use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose

the user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn

injury.

WARNING:

To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with

the bottom of the engine above waist level.

Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and

your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both

hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a com-

fortable position with the rear handle about hip height.

Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the

top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the

shaft housing and string head which may cause damage from

overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string

head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,

and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle

will result in oil dripping from the muffler.
