5. Squeeze and hold trigger through all remaining steps. 6. Pull starter rope handle sharply until engine sounds as if it is trying to start, but do not pull rope more than 6 times. 7. As soon as engine sounds as if it is trying to start, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE. 8. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. If the engine doesn’t start after 6 pulls (at the HALF CHOKE position), move the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position and press the primer bulb 6 times. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger and pull the starter rope 2 more times. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the starter rope until the engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. NOTE: If engine still doesn’t start, it is probably flooded. Proceed to STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE. 9. Once the engine starts, allow it to run 10 seconds, then move the choke lever to OFF CHOKE. Allow the unit to run for 30 more seconds at OFF CHOKE before releasing the throttle trigger. NOTE: If engine dies with the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the rope until engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. STARTING A WARM ENGINE 1. Move ON/OFF switch to the ON position. 2. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position. 3. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger. Keep throttle trigger fully squeezed until the engine runs smoothly. 4. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls. 5. Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move the choke lever to the OFF CHOKE position. 5 NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it is probably flooded. STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE Flooded engines can be started by placing the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to clear the engine of excess fuel. This could require pulling the starter handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING POSITION Eye Protection ALWAYS WEAR: Long Pants Heavy Shoes Cut from your right to your left. WARNING: Always wear eye protection and hearing protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting. To stop engine: S Release the throttle trigger. S Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE Advance line by tapping the bottom of the cutting head lightly on the ground while engine is running at full speed. The metal line limiter blade attached to the guard will cut the line to the proper length. WARNING: Use only 1,6 mm diameter line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury. CUTTING METHODS WARNING: Use minimum speed and do not crowd the line when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard. S The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achieve the best performance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting area. The right and wrong ways are shown below. Tip of the Line Line Crowded Into Does The Cutting Work Area RightWrong S The line will easily remove grass and weeds from around walls, fences, trees and flower beds, but it also can cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. S For trimming or scalping, use less than full throttle to increase line life and decrease head wear, especially: S During light duty cutting. S Near objects around which the line can- wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire. S For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for a good clean job. TRIMMING - --Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 80 mm above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force trimmer line into work area. Trimming3in.(8cm) AboveGround SCALPING - --The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 80 mm above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique increases line wear. Scalping 6 MAINTENANCE MOWING - --Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to th...
