Operation; Maintenance - Honda UMS425E1 El Manual Del Propietario

NOTE: Should you have difficulties to re-start a hot engine, follows
this procedure:
1. Turn the engine to the OFF position (O).
2. Make sure that the choke lever is in OPEN position.
3. Keep the throttle control lever (throttle trigger) fully squeezed.
4. Pull the starter grip 3 to 5 times, and release the throttle control
lever (throttle trigger).
5. Start the engine referring to the procédures described above.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the engine switch to the OFF position (O).
• If this operation is executed with the engine switch at the ON
position, the blade may rotate when the engine starts and a
personal injury may result.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. To stop the engine, press the
Start/Stop button to engage the
Stop position [1].
2. This step can also be taken to
stop the machine in case of
emergency.
Note that the cutting attachment
continues turning by inertia after
the engine has been stopped.

OPERATION

OPERATING POSITION
When handling the machine, take care to avoid striking any
objects with the cutting attachment and keep the cutting
attachment away from your body.
Hold the grass trimmer firmly by both grips as shown [3].
CAUTION:
• When using the machine, always
allow the engine to idle between
operations. If the machine is
allowed to run at maximum speed
with no load (no resistance on the
cutting attachment) for long
periods, the engine may be
seriously damaged.
This attachment is designed to
complete the job done with a
lawnmower. It is especially handy
and efficient for cutting grass along
walls or fences, around trees or
posts and on narrow or uneven
surfaces where a lawnmower
cannot be used.
Make sure the line cutting blade [4] is properly mounted on the
cutting attachment guard.
LINE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
At maximum rotating speed,
gently press the nylon line
cutting head on the ground. The
line is automatically extended.
Repeat this operation until the
optimal length is obtained.

CUTTING
The nylon line cuts grass cleanly without damaging tree bark and
avoiding the violent impacts that would occur between a rigid cutting
attachment and hard surfaces.
It is, however, recommended not to work too long in such areas in
order to avoid damaging fragile, immature plant, in particular, and to
avoid premature line wear.
Proceed in stages, when trimming, tilting the cutting attachment
slightly.
For larger areas, hold the cutting attachment horizontal and sway it
sideways from right to left and from left to right, alternately.
CAUTION:
• Do not rest the bottom of the cutting attachment on the ground as
this could damage it, as well as your lawn.

MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Drain the oil while the engine
is still warm to assure rapid and
complete draining.
1. Check the fuel tank cap [6] is
tightened.
2. Remove the oil filler cap [5] and
drain the oil into the oil container
by tipping the engine toward the
oil [7] filler neck.
3. Refill with the recommended
and check the oil level [8]
page 5).
4. Install the oil filler cap [5].
CAUTION:
• Wash your hands with soap and
water after handling used oil.
NOTE: Please dispose of used
motor oil in a manner that is
compatible with the
environnement. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your
local service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or
pour it on the ground.
