MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it
could create a fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning of
each mowing season or after every 100
hours of operation, whichever occurs
first. Spark plug type and gap setting
are shown in the "PRODUCT SPECIFIC-
ATIONS" section of this manual.
HV1PORTANT: For best performance, keep
trimmer free of built-up grass and trash.
Clean the underside of your trimmer after
each use.
ACAUTmON: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark
plug.
• Turn trimmer on its side. Make sure air
filter and carburetor are up. Clean the
underside of your trimmer by scraping to
remove build-up of grass and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating. A clogged engine runs
hotter and shortens engine life.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• We do not recommend using a gar-
den hose to clean trimmer unless the
electrical system, muffler, air filter and
carburetor are covered to keep water
out. Water in engine can result in short-
ened engine life.
CLEAN UNDER ENGmNE COVER
Clean under engine cover before each
use, or more frequently in heavy cutting or
dirty conditions. Engine cover screen and
engine air intake screen must be kept free
of dirt and chaff to prevent engine damage
from overheating.
Be sure engine is cool before cleaning.
1. Unscrew knob on top of cover.
2. Lift cover up and away from engine.
3. Clean cover and cover screen thor-
oughly.
4. Clean top of engine and air intake
screen.
5. Replace engine cover and tighten
knob securely. Be sure the front tabs of
engine cover are located in the slots in
engine housing.
