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.

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

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.
2. Locate the muffler, but do not remove it. Find the two (2) screws on the bottom of the muffler (Fig. 26). These two screws hold the Spark Arrestor Hood Assembly and the spark arrestor screen to the bottom of the muffler. Remove the two (2) screws using either a torx #20 or flat blade screwdriver.
3. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, carefully pry up the spark arrestor screen from the recessed hole, taking care to notice that the “raised” part of the spark arrestor screen is inside the recessed hole. Remove the spark arrestor screen from the muffler.
4. Clean the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. Replace it if it is damaged, or if you are unable to clean it thoroughly.
5. Reinstall the spark arrestor screen by putting the “raised” portion of the screen inside the recessed hole of the muffler. Make sure that the spark arrestor screen fits flat against the muffler.
6. Place the spark arrestor plate on top of the spark arrestor with the “raised” side up and the opening facing towards the engine (Fig. 26).
7. Place the spark arrestor hood on top of the spark arrestor plate with the “raised” side up and the opening facing AWAY from the engine (Fig. 26). Verify that the exhaust will be directed AWAY from the engine.
8. Replace the two screws you removed in Step 2 and tighten them securely.
9. Reinstall the air filter/muffler cover.

WARNING: Iftheexhaust deflector assembly is not tightened securely, it could fall off causing
to the unit and possible serious injury.

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.

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 over tighten.

CLEANING
WARNING: Toavosiderious personal injury, always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
