Preparing the Drive Unit
Fuelling
• The Drive Unit (33) uses a mixture of unleaded fuel and 2 stroke oil at a
ratio of 40:1
• Use only good quality, petroleum-based 2 stroke oil and unleaded petrol
• Mix the fuel in the Fuel Mixing Bottle (22) supplied
• Do not mix fuel in the Fuel Tank (14)
• Only mix as much fuel as you intend to use (Note: The tank has a
capacity of 0.6Ltr)
• Place the drive unit on a firm level surface
• Remove the fuel tank cap to fill the tank
• Pour the fuel carefully through a funnel with a filter. Do not fill the tank
beyond the level of the base of the filler neck
• Replace the fuel cap and screw tightly closed
• Make sure that any fuel spillage is completely cleaned up
• Store any excess fuel in a safe container well away from the work area
and from other combustible materials
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Always refuel in a safe place, well away from the work area, and any
source of heat or ignition. Avoid any contact with the fuel. DO NOT
SMOKE
• Only add fuel when the engine has stopped and cooled fully
• 2 stroke fuels may separate. If you are using fuel that you have mixed
earlier, shake the fuel container thoroughly before filling the tank
• Move the drive unit well away from the fuelling area before starting the
engine

Starting the engine

Running in
• When using the drive unit for the first time, it is important to run in the
engine. This will improve engine efficiency, performance and maximise
life span.
• To run in the engine, leave the engine idling, with minimum use of
the throttle, for a period of approx. 15 minutes on first use. DO NOT
INCREASE ENGINE SPEED FOR THIS PERIOD IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE: It is normal to experience distinctive smells during running in, as
components heat up for the first time.
Starting from cold
• We recommend that you start the engine from cold without the cutting
tools attached, especially on first use. Once it is warmed up, turn off
the engine. Now attach the required cutting tool. See, 'Attaching the
Cutting Tools'
WARNING: The engine will produce toxic fumes as soon as it is running.
Never attempt to start the engine indoors, or in any kind of enclosed space.
Always wear proper safety protection. Use of this tool requires goggles,
gloves, ear defenders, face mask, and sturdy clothing. Wearing a hard hat,
and safety boots, is also advisable.
1. Place the Drive Unit (33) on a firm, level surface
2. Pump the Primer (17) until you can see the Fuel Lines (18) filled with
fuel (usually takes 6-12 'pumps')
3. Set the Choke Lever (15) up to the COLD START position (If the engine
is already warm, or air temperature is warm, set the choke lever down
to the WARM START position
4. Move the Ignition Switch (4) to the 'ON' position (nearest the handle)
5. Place one hand on the Handle (7) to steady the unit. Make sure you
can operate the Safety Switch (6) and Throttle (5) if necessary
WARNING: Do not wrap the starter cord around your hand.
1. Grip the Starter Handle (13) and pull sharply to start the engine. Always
guide the cord back into the casing, DO NOT LET IT SNAP BACK
2. The engine will start after a few pulls
25cc Multi-Head Garden System
3. If necessary, press the Safety Switch (6) and gently squeeze the
Throttle (5) to encourage starting
4. As the engine warms, move the choke lever up to the 'OPEN' position
5. Keep engine speed to a minimum and allow the engine to warm up
slowly for a few minutes
NOTE: If the engine sounds like it is going to stall, move the choke into the
WARM START position and squeeze the throttle to increase engine speed
Stopping the engine
1. Release the Throttle (5), and allow the engine to idle for a few minutes
to cool down
2. Move the Ignition Switch (4) forward to the STOP position
3. The engine will stop
NOTE: When a cutting tool is attached, be aware that the spool or blade
may continue to spin for a few moments after the engine has stopped. Do
not attempt to stop the blade; allow it to slow gradually.

Attaching the shoulder strap

• Clip Shoulder Strap (27) to the Strap Anchor Point (32)
Attaching the cutting tools (Fig C)
WARNING: Do not attempt to change the cutting tools when the engine is
running, this could cause serious injury.
1. Lay the drive unit on a firm level surface
2. Ensure Locking Clamp (10) is loose
3. Remove End Cover (11) from the shaft of the required tool
4. Position shaft with the locking hole uppermost
5. Depress the Locking Pin Cover (9) and slide shaft fully into
Drive Unit Coupling (8)
6. Release the locking pin cover and firmly try to pull shaft out of the
coupling to check pin is engaged
7. Now tighten the locking clamp
Disconnecting a cutting tool
1. Turn the Locking Clamp (10) anti-clockwise to loosen the coupling
2. Depress the Locking Pin Cover (9) and pull the shaft out of the
coupling
Using the hedge trimmer
• First attach the hedge trimmer as described in 'Attaching the cutting
tools'
Adjusting the hedge trimmer head
The pivot hinge allows 180° adjustment of the blade angle:
• Press the two Adjustment Levers (20) together and rotate trimmer head
to required angle
• Release the adjustment levers and check the lever is engaged with the
teeth of the pivot hinge
Before starting the engine
Check the connections:
• Ensure the hedge trimmer is securely attached to the drive unit
• Ensure the head of the hedge trimmer is securely fixed at the required
angle
Check the blade:
1. Remove the protective sleeves from the blade
2. Check the blade is suitably lubricated. If the blade appears dry, apply a
light spray or bead of multi-purpose oil along the base of the teeth
