In temperatures below freezing, check the chain oil viscosity (pour point). If the oil is not rated for use below freezing, it may not provide adequate lubrication, resulting in damage to the oil pump, chain and guide bar. IMPORTANT: When filling the oil tank for the first time, or when the tank is completely empty, wait approximately 60-90 seconds before starting the Pruner. This will give the oil time to flow from the tank to the pump. Otherwise, an air lock can occur which will prevent oil from moving through the pump.

To ensure freshness, purchase only the quan- tity of gasoline that can be used in 30 days. Use of lead- free gasoline results in fewer combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel 1s not necessary or recommended. Use Of Fuel Additives IMPORTANT: NEVER USE ALCOHOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ALCOHOL BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT. - — US-24 — DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE SUCH AS MARUYAMA’S STABILIZER/ CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT.

ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF MACHINE. Mixing Gasoline And Qil IMPORTANT: The engine used on this MultiCutter is of a 2-cycle design. The internal moving parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings, piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with the gasoline for lubrication. Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate ratio will cause major engine damage which Will void your warranty. For your fuel premix, use Maruyama Premium 2-cycle Oil Mix, or equivalent ISO-L-EGD & JASO FD oil with 2 minimum 89 octane high Quality gasoline. Maruyama 2-cycle oil is spe- cially formulated to meet the requirements of high-performance, low-emission air-cooled 2- cycle engines. Use of other oils may lead to ser- vice issues Which may Not be covered by your warranty. wre The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1 regardless of the oil package mixing instructions. Ratios less than 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 86:1, 100:1), reduce the amount of lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause damage.

Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the contain- er with half the required amount of gasoline. 4. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline. 5. Close the container tightly and shake it momentar- ily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the Multi - Cutter. 6. When refilling the Multi - Cutter fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris from entering the tank duriug cap removal. 7. Always shake the premix fuel container momen- tarily before filling the fuel tank. 8. Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. 9.

The use of parts that are not equivalent in performance and durability to authorized parts may impair the effective- ness of the emission control system and may have a bearing on the outcome of a warranty claim. Maintenance on today's low-emission engmes is even more critical for longest life and best performance. par- ticularly critical are air and fuel filters, spark plug heat range, cooling air intake area and proper gaps of coil and plug. Air Filter Maintenance interval e The air filter should be cleaned daily, or more often when working in extremely dusty conditions. e Replace after every 100 hours of operation. 1. Loosen the knob and remove the air filter cover. 2. Remove the foam element and filter screen from the air filter body. 3. «Clean the foam element and filter screen with warm, soapy water. Let the screen and element dry completely. 4. Apply a light coat of SAE 30 motor oil to the foam element and squeeze out all excess oil. 5. Reassemble the filter screen, foam element and to the air filter cover. Air Filter Cover Foam Element Fuel Filter Maintenance Interval The fuel filter should be replaced after every 100 hours of operation. | Fuel filters needing more frequent replacement may indicate debris in fuel tank. Fuel Filter Replacement The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick-up hose inside the fuel tank. 1. Make sure the fuel tank is empty. 2. Remove the fuel cap. 3. Using a wire hook, gently pull the fuel filter out through the fuel filler opening. Use caution not to "fishhook” the fuel tube. Replace immediately if punctured! 4. Grasp the fuel hose next to the fuel filter fitting and remove the filter, but do not release the hose. 5. While still holding on to the fuel hose, attach the new fuel filter. 6. Drop the new fuel filter back into the fuel tank. 7. Make sure that the fuel filter is not stuck in a cor- ner of the tank, and that the fuel hose is not dou- bled over (kinked) before refueling. — US-35 — Fuel Pick-up Hose Fuel Filter Maintenance Interval e The spark plug should be removed from the engine and checked after each 25 hours of operation. 9 Replace the spark plug after every 100 hours of oper- ation. I. Twist the high tension lead boot on the spark plug back and forth a couple of times to loosen the boot, then pull the boot off of the spark plug. 2. Remove the spark plug. Clean the electrodes with a stiff brush. 4. Adjust the electrode air gap to .024-.028 in (0.6- 0.7mm). 5. Replace the spark plug if 1t is oil-fouled, damaged, or if the electrodes are wom down. 6. Do not overtighten the spark plug when mstalling. The tightening torque is 95-148 п. 165. (10.7-16.6 N-m). 7. Always use only the specific heat range of spark plug. This is particularly critical with today’s lowemission engines. For best results, use the exact replacement. 024” - 028” (0.6 - 0.7 mm) ar eh анны " * » *. = “ = ". + "a a... =", + - = = aa il Cylinder Cooling Fins Maintenance Interval The cylinder cooling fins should be cleaned after every 25 hours of operation, or once a week, whichever comes first.
