3.12

  Filling   the   brush   cutter’s   fuel   tank  

WARNING:

 

Petrol   is   highly   inflammable.

  Handle   with   the   utmost   care   to   avoid   risk   of   fire,   burns   or   explosion.

 

 

WARNING:

 

Your   chainsaw’s   engine   runs   on   a   two ‐ stroke   mixture   of   petrol   and   oil.

  Always   use   the   correct   petrol/oil   ratio   (see   section   4)   and   never   start   the   engine   with   just   petrol   in   the   tank.

  The   result   is   likely   to   cause   irreversible   and   costly   damage   to   the   engine.

   

The   brush   cutter’s   engine   requires   a   mixture   of   unleaded   95   grade   petrol   and   a   mineral   or   semi ‐ synthetic   oil   designed   for   air ‐ cooled   two ‐ stroke   engines   (see   Technical   Specifications,   section   4).

 

• Use   only   “fresh”   unleaded   95   RON   grade   petrol.

  Buy   only   the   quantity   of   petrol   that   you   are   likely   to   use   in   a   month.

  Petrol   should   be   stored   only   in   containers   designed   specifically   for   the   purpose,   approved   and   labelled   as   such.

 

Mix   the   required   quantity   of   oil   with   the   petrol   to   obtain   the   recommended   petrol/oil   ratio   (see   Technical   Specifications,   section   4).

 

Do   not   mix   fuel   and   oil   directly   in   the   hedge   trimmer’s   fuel   tank.

  Use   a   suitable   container   and   observe   carefully   the   mixture   ratio   as   specified   in   section   4.

 

Always   fill   the   fuel   tank   outdoors,   never   in   an   enclosed   space   nor   close   to   a   flame   or   source   of   sparks   or   intense   heat.

  Never   smoke   while   handling   fuel.

 

Never   unscrew   the   fuel   tank’s   cap   when   the   engine   is   running   or   is   hot.

 

Pour   the   fuel   slowly   into   the   fuel   tank   with   the   help   of   a   flexible   spout   or   funnel.

 

12 / Operator’s Manual Sanli GTS33

Avoid   spilling   petrol   by   not   overfilling   the   fuel   tank.

  Leave   a   small   space   beneath   the   tank’s   rim   to   allow   for   expansion.

  Replace   the   tank   cap   correctly   and   hand   tight.

 

If   any   petrol   is   spilled,   do   not   start   the   engine.

  Remove   the   machine   from   the   area   of   spillage   and   carefully   wipe   it   dry.

  Do   not   start   the   machine   until   all   petrol   vapours   have   fully   evaporated.

 

Replace   the   cap   on   the   fuel   container   and   put   in   a   safe   place,   away   from   flames,   sparks   or   heat   sources   and   out   of   the   reach   of   children  

If   you   suspect   a   fuel   leak,   DO   NOT   start   the   engine.

  Drain   the   tank   fully   and   seek   assistance   from   an   authorised   SANLI   UK   dealer   or   service   agent.

 

3.2

  Using   the   brush   cutter  

Before   starting   work,   check   that   all   guards   and   safety   devices   are   present,   are   in   good   condition   and   are   functioning   correctly.

 

Check   also   that   the   cutting   components   and   fixings   are   in   good   condition   and   secure.

  If   necessary,   replace,   repair   or   tighten   faulty   or   insecure   components   before   starting   work.

  

• Use   only   original   replacement   parts   or   those   approved   by   SANLI   UK.

 

• Read   carefully   all   of   the   safety   procedures   set   out   in   this   manual   before   using   the   machine.

 

3.21

  Starting   the   brush   cutter  

The   starting   method   varies   depending   on   whether   the   engine   is   hot   or   cold.

 

Starting   a   cold   engine  

Place   the   brush   cutter   on   a   sound,   level   surface   and   hold   it   firmly,   pressed   to   the   ground.

 

Push   on   the   priming   pump   until   the   fuel   becomes   visible   (approx.

  2   to   3   presses).

 

Move   the   Start/Stop   switch   to   its   On   position,   marked   I   (fig.

  11).

 

 

 

Holding   down   the   safety   lever   with   the   palm   of   your   hand,   depress   the   throttle   trigger   and   then   press   down   on   the   locking   button   (fig.

  11).

   Release   pressure   on   the   throttle   trigger.

 

 

With   the   throttle   trigger   held   down   by   the   locking   button,   move   the   choke   control    into   its   closed   (Start)   position,   as   shown                  

Operator’s   Manual    Sanli   GTS33    /   13  

 

 

 

       Locking  

       button     

 

                                    

Start/Stop   switch                                              

Pull   quickly   and   firmly   on   the   starter   handle,   keeping   hold   of   the   handle   as   it   returns   to   its   rest   position.

 

Repeat   until   the   engine   fires.

 

After   15   to   30   seconds   with   the   engine   running,   return   the   choke   to   its   open   (run)   position,   as   shown   .

 

Holding   the   safety   lever   down   with   the   palm   of   the   hand,   press   the   throttle   trigger   with   your   index   finger.

  Increasing   the   pressure   on   the   throttle   trigger   will   raise   engine   speed   and   engage   the   cutting   mechanism.

 

Starting   a   hot   engine  

NOTE:   You   should   not   need   to   use   the   choke   when   starting   a   hot   or   recently ‐ run   engine.

  

To   start   a   hot   or   recently   run   machine,   follow   the   same   procedure   as   for   when   starting   from   cold,   but   do   not   use   the   choke.

 

If   the   engine   does   not   start   after   four   pulls   on   the   starter   handle,   continue   as   if   the   engine   was   cold   (by   using   the   choke).

 

3.22

  Stopping   the   brush   cutter  

Remove   all   pressure   from   the   throttle   trigger.

 

Move   the   Start/Stop   switch   into   the   STOP   position   (marked   O).

 

The   engine   and   the   machine   will   come   to   stop   completely   after   a   brief   moment.

 

3.23

  Extending   the   cutting   line   in   use  

Hold   the   rotating   cutting   head   parallel   to   the   ground   and   lightly   tap   the   cutting   head   on   the   ground   (see   illustration).

  The   nylon   spool   will   automatically   release   a   length   of   cutting   line.

    If   the   line   is   too   long,   a   blade   on   the   deflector   guard   will   cut   the   line   to   its   optimum   length.

 

To   avoid   using   too   much   line,   do   not   tap   the   cutting   head   too   many   times   on   the   ground.

 

14 / Operator’s Manual Sanli GTS33

 

 

 

  3.24

    Advice   for   cutting  

Cut   the   grass   by   swinging   the   cutter   head   steadily   from   left   to   right,   moving   slowly   forward   keeping   the   deflector   guard   parallel   to   the   ground.

  Taking   a   light   cut   is   always   preferable   to   a   heavy   cut   as   it   allows   the   grass   to   be   thrown   well   clear   of   the   spinning   nylon   spool,   helping   prevent   it   from   becoming   choked   with   grass.

 

To   cut   tall   grass,   work   progressively   from   the   top   down   to   the   base   of   the   grass.

  Never   cut   damp   grass   and   do   not   overload   the   machine.

 

To   maximise   the   life   of   the   nylon   line,   do   not   allow   the   rotating   line   to   continuously   impact   hard   objects   such   as   stones,   walls   and   posts.

 

Be   of   kick ‐ back   when   the   machine’s   moving   parts   hit   a   solid   object.

 

NOTE:   Regularly   removing   cut   grass   that   has   accumulated   between   the   nylon   spool   and   the   inside   of   the   deflector   guard   will   minimise   risk   of   vibration.

 

 

3.25

  Changing   the   nylon   spool  

Always   switch   off   the   engine   and   wait   for   the   machine   to   come   to   a   complete   stop   before   adjusting,   maintaining   or   servicing   the   brush   cutter.

  

Locate   the   two   clips   holding   in   place   the   lid   of   the   nylon   spool   housing.

 

Using   your   thumb   and   index   finger,   squeeze   and   remove   both   clips   and   lift   off   the   lid   (fig.

  13   and   14).

 

Lift   out   the   nylon   spool   (fig.

  15).

 

Install   a   full   nylon   spool   by   reversing   the   above   steps,   not   forgetting   to   insert   the   two   lines   through   the   small   metal ‐ ringed   openings   on   either   side   of   the   housing.

  Replace   and   ensure   that   the   lid   is   properly   closed   and   fastened.

3.3

  Cleaning,   storage,   transport   and   maintenance  

Always   switch   off   the   engine   and   allow   the   machine   to   come   to   a   complete   stop   before   attempting   any   maintenance   or   adjustment   of   the   brush   cutter.

 

3.31

  Cleaning   the   brush   cutter   

Cleaning   the   machine   after   every   use   will   help   ensure   that   it   performs   with   maximum   efficiency   and   has   a   long   and   effective   working   life.

 

Clean   the   surface   of   the   machine   with   a   soft   damp   cloth.

  Never   clean   the   plastic   with   a   chemical   product   that   might   damage   it.

 

WARNING:   Never   immerse   the   brush   cutter   in   water   or   in   other   liquids   to   clean   it.

  Never   clean   the   tool   with   a   strong   water   jet   or   a   high ‐ pressure   cleaner.

 

3.32

  Storing   and   transporting   the   brush   cutter  

Ensure   that   the    machine   is   safely   out   of   the   reach   of   children.

 

Store   the   machine   in   a   cool,   dry   place,   away   from   direct   sunlight.

  Covering   it   with   a   tarpaulin   or   plastic   sheet   is   not   recommended   as   this   could   cause   damaging   condensation.

 

For   long ‐ term   storage,   empty   the   fuel   tank   into   a   suitable   container   and   then   run   the   engine   until   it   stops   of   its   own   accord,   having   used   up   all   remaining   fuel.

 

3.33

  Transporting   and   maintaining   the   brush   cutter  

 

 

 

Transport   the   brush   cutter   only   when   it   has   come   to   a   complete   stop   with   the   engine   switched   off.

 

Lubricating   the   cutting   head’s   angle   adjuster  

 

 

Lubricate   the   angle   adjuster   every   25   hours   or   once   a   year.

  Unscrew   the   two   cap   screws   (fig.

 

16),   and   apply   grease   through   the   two   exposed   holes.

Cleaning   the   air   filter  

Remove   the   top   of   the   air   filter   housing   (item   12   on   machine   component   diagram).

 

Carefully   remove   the   foam   filter   element   and   wash   in   warm   water   mixed   with   a   few   drops   of   washing   up   liquid   until   the   element   is   perfectly   clean   and   all   traces   of   grease   and   dirt   have   disappeared.

 

WARNING:   Never   clean   the   filter   in   petrol,   white   spirit   or   any   other   solvent,   as   these   products   can   cause   deterioration   to   the   filter   foam.

  Replace   the   filter   element   if   it   is   damaged   or   becomes   very   dirty.

 

Rinse   the   foam   filter   in   clean   water   and   squeeze   it   gently   to   remove   excess   water.

 

Leave   the   element   in   the   open   air   until   it   is   completely   dry.

   

 

WARNING:   Never   wring   the   foam   filter   to   expel   water.

  Such   action   may   damage   the   filter.

 

Once   dry,   coat   the   exterior   of   the   filter   with   a   film   of   clean   engine   oil   using   a   brush.

  

Clean   the   inside   of   the   filter   box   with   a   clean   cloth   and   place   the   foam   filter   element   carefully   back   in   its   housing,   replacing   and   securing   the   lid   properly.

 

Spark   plug   maintenance  

Pull   off   the   spark   plug   cap   then   unscrew   and   remove   the   spark   plug.

 

Remove   any   carbon   deposits   from   the   spark   plug   electrodes   with   a   bronze   wire   brush.

 

Check   the   electrode   gap   using   a   feeler   gauge   and   reset   to   0.5

  mm   if   necessary.

 

If   the   spark   plug   is   worn   or   damaged,   replace   with   a   new   spark   plug   suitable   for   the   engine   on   your   brush   cutter.

  Your   local   SANLI   will   be   able   to   advise   on   the   correct   part.

 

 

Replace   the   spark   plug,   screwing   it   in   by   hand   until   it   makes   firm   contact   with   the   cylinder   head.

  Using   the   socket   wrench,   tighten   the   spark   plug   half ‐ a ‐ turn   more.

  

NOTE:   Overtightening   the   spark   plug   can   cause   irreversible   damage   to   the   threads.

 

 

 

 

 

Replace   the   cap   on   top   of   the   spark   plug   and   press   firmly   into   place.

6. Environmental Protection

To   help   protect   the   environment,   we   recommend   the   following   actions:  

Use   unleaded   95   RON   petrol   for   your   two ‐ stroke   fuel   mixture  

Use   a   funnel   or   flexible   spout   to   avoid   spilling   fuel   when   filling   the   tank   

Do   not   leave   the   engine   running   with   the   choke   applied   

Do   not   fill   the   fuel   tank   to   the   top.

  Leave   a   little   space   beneath   the   rim   to   allow   for   fuel   expansion.

 

Keep   the   air   filter   and   the   spark   plug   clean   and   in   good   condition.

 

Keep   the   hedge   trimmer   clean,   properly   serviced   and   replace   any   worn   parts   promptly  

When   your   machine   has   reached   the   end   of   its   economical   working   life,   return   it   to   your   retailer   for   recycling.
