OIL & FUELINFORMATION
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for improper unit performance.
Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as I% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It forms acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits.
It is recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL ® Gas
Stabilizer or an equivalent.
Add 0.8 oz. (23 mL) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the container.
NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
CAUTION: For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and l fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE:
One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of
2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuelloil ratio.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOLDING THE TRIMMER
WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and I body protection to reduce the risk of injury I when operating this unit.
J
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Fig. 9). Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing
• With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator's right hand is holding the shaft grip
• The operator's left arm is straight, the left hand holding the D-handle
• The unit is at waist level
• The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over

LINE LENGTH
J Fig. 9
The Bump HeadTMcutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 10) while operating the trimmer at high speed.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
Line release becomes more difficult as cutting line becomes shorter
Fig. 10
NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head TMon the ground while the unit is running.
CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly.Excessiveline length will make the clutch overheat. This may lead to serious personal I
[njury or damage to the un t.
J
Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds
• Forcing the line into obJectssuch as walls or fence posts
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING
RESULTS
• For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.
• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine.
• Cutgrassover8inches(2OOmm) by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag.
• Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator.
• Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height. Move either in a forward-backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
• Properadherenceof trimming techniques(explainedabove)
• What vegetation is cut
• Where vegetation iscut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall asopposed to trimming around a tree.
DECORATIVE TRIMMING
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc.
Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a
30° angle to the ground (Fig. 11).
\
Eachtime the head isbumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line releases.A blade in the cutting attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length if any excess line is released.
For best resultS,tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil.
If you attempt a line release in tall grass,the engine may stall.
Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIRINSTRUCTIONS
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 26).
NOTE:
Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit. An authorized service dealer should make carburetor adjustments.
Check Fuel Mixture
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel is usually the reason for improper unit performance.
Drain and refill the tank with fresh, properly-mixed fuel prior to making any adjustments.
Refer to OilandFue!lnformation.
Clean Air Filter
The condition of the air filter is important to the operation of the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow and change the air!fuel
mixture.
This is often mistaken for an out of adjustment carburetor.
Check the condition of the air filter before adjusting the idle speed screw, Refer to Air Filter
Maintenance.
If, after checking the fuel mixture and cleaning the air filter the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed screw as follows:
WARNING:
The cutting attachment will spin 1 during id!e speed adjustments.
Wear protective
J
clothing and observe all safety instructions to J prevent serious personal injury.
J
1. Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up, Refer tO Starting/Stopping
Instructions,
2.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, insert a small phillips or flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the air filter/muffler cover
(Fig. 26). Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.
i Fig. 26
Idle Speed Screw
3.
If the engine appears to be idling too fast, turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed), to reduce idle speed.
Checking the fuel mixture, cleaning the air filter, and adjusting the idle speed should solve most engine problems.
If not and:
• theenginewill not idle
