OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not running
properly. 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 1%
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: oFpoerraptrioopneraenndgine
maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and 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 fuel/oil ratio.

HOLDING THE TRIMMER
WARNING: Aw, aywseaerye, hearing, foot and body protection to reduce the risk
of injury when operating this unit.
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

ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
The Bump Head TM cutting 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

NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head TM on the ground while the unit is running.
ITIt’ lkl, Donotremove or alter
I ,wr,,wmm ,, m!, the line cutting blade I assembly. Excessive line length
will make the
unit overheat. This may lead to serious persona njury or damage to the un t.
Some line breakage will occur from: · Entanglement with foreign matter
· Normal line fatigue
· Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds
· Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
· 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.
· Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) 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 forwardbackward 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;
· Adherence of the listed trimming techniques
· What vegetation is cut
· Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall
as opposed 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).
Fig. 10
Each time the head is bumped, 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.

SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The exhaust can only flow in one direction: AWAY from the engine. Pay
close attention when disassembling the muffler so you can put it back together
correctly. Failure to do so will damage the unit and may cause serious
personal injury.
1. Remove air filter/muffler cover. Refer to Removing the Air Filter/Muffler
Cover.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air filter/muffler
cover (Fig. 27).
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 Oil and Fuel Information.
14
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.
Adjust Idle Speed Screw If, after checking the fuel mixture and cleaning the
air filter, the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed screw as
follows:
1. Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up.
Refer to Starting/Stopping Instructions.
WARNING: Tathtaecchumtteinngt will spin
during idle speed adjustments. Wear protective clothing and observe all safety
instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops,
insert a small phillips screwdriver into the hole in the air filter/muffler
cover (Fig. 27). Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a
time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.
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.
Idle Speed Screw
Checking the fuel mixture, cleaning the air filter, and adjusting the idle
speed should solve most engine problems. If not and all of the following are
true:
· the engine will not idle · the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration ·
there is a loss of engine power Have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized
service dealer.
To prevent serious personal injury,
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG Use a Champion RDJ7Y spark plug, or equivalent. The
correct air gap is 0.020 inch (0.5 mm}. Remove the plug after every 25 hours
of operation and check its condition. 1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
Grasp the plug
wire firmly and pull it from the spark plug. 2. Clean around the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug
from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8-inch socket counterclockwise.
3. Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at 0.020
in. (0.5 ram} using a feeler gauge (Fig. 28).
WARNING: sDcoranpoet soar ncdleabnlast,
electrodes. Grit in the engine could damage cylinder.
4. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head. Tighten by
turning the 5/8-inch socket clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench torque to: 110-120 in.·lb. (12.3-13.5 N·m} Do not
