Operator's Manual
Trimmer Mower 600050 Series
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not trim it. Do trim across the face of slopes; never up and down. Do not trim excessively steep slopes (maximum 15 degrees) or areas where the ground is very rough. See the “Slope Guide” in the back of this manual to check a slope. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
•Remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The operator could lose footing or balance.
•Do not trim excessively steep slopes.
•Do not trim on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the trimmer and the trimming activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
•Keepchildrenoutofthetrimmingareaandunderthewatchful care of a responsible adult.
•Be alert and turn trimmer off if children enter the area.
•Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
•Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death. Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
•Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor) running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting (remove the ignition key if equipped with an electric start). Always wear eye protection when you make adjustments or repairs.
•Check the trimmer head and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
•Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in good condition. Check mounting hardware on trimmer head every time you change trimmer line and prior to each use.
•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
•When servicing or repairing the trimmer, do not tip the machine over or up unless specifically instructed to do so in this manual. Service and repair procedures can be done with the trimmer in an upright position. Some procedures will be easier if the machine is lifted on a raised platform or working surface.
•To reduce fire hazard, keep trimmer free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow trimmer to cool before storing.
•Never allow children to operate the trimmer.
•Useextracarewhenapproachingblindcorners,shrubs,trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
SERVICE
•Useextracareinhandlinggasolineandotherfuels.Theyare flammable and vapors are explosive.
•Useonlyanapprovedcontainer.
•Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke while refueling.
•Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors or near appliances with pilot lights, heaters, or other ignition sources. Replace fuel cap securely. If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine but move product and fuel container from area. Clean up spilled fuel and allow to evaporate.
•Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame (such as a water heater), or other ignition source.
•If the fuel has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. The drained fuel should be stored in a container specifically designed for fuel storage or it should be disposed of carefully.
•Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
•Always disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, repairing, or adjusting.
•Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed the engine.
•Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as necessary.
•To guard against engine over-heating, always have engine debris filter mounted and clean.
•Inspect trimmer before storage. When not in use, disconnect spark plug lead and store indoors in a dry place locked or otherwise inaccessible to children.
•Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts.
•Never replace the cutting lines with metal parts.
•When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank, store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

Trimmer Tips
•Set the throttle control in the FAST position. If the weeds or grass are tall and thick, operate the trimmer at a slower walking speed.
•Frequently clean the underside of the trimmer to remove any grass build up. See the “Maintenance, Service and Storage”section for details.
FIGURE 7: Primer Bulb |
• For best results and longer lasting line, use the ends of the |
|
line to do the cutting. This is easily done by moving slowly |
|
through very thick or heavy weeds. |
• If the trimmer lines become too short, it will take longer to complete the job. If the trimmer lines are worn to less than half their original length, change to a new trimmer line. See more on how to replace the trimmer line in the "Maintenance, Service and Storage" section.
• Donottrimonexcessivelysteepslopes.Ifaslopeisdifficult to stand on, do not trim. Do not trim on slopes when the ground is slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a slope, not up and down.
• Trimmer head contact to concrete, asphalt and harder surfaces may create premature wear to the height guide.

Do not allow the length of the lines to vary more than one inch. This is important to make sure the trimmer head is balanced and does not vibrate.
NOTE: To extend the life of the trimmer line, keep the trimmer line moist. If not kept moist, the nylon trimmer line will become dry and brittle. Keep extra trimmer line in a can of water. The line will then stay flexible and easy to change. A flexible line will also last much longer.
1.Stop the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.Remove the worn trimmer line from the line retainer.
3.First, thread the ends of the new trimmer line through the outside loops. SEE FIGURE 10
4.Next, take the ends of the line, cross over the line retainer, and thread the ends through the center hold. SEE FIGURE
11
5.Then, check to make sure that the ends of the line are even.

TRIMMER HEAD SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT, SLIDE-THROUGH VERSION
Trimmer Line on Slide-Through Version
For the best performance, use a heavy gauge (0.155" diameter) trimmer line. Recommended line cut to proper length can be obtained through your dealer. If necessary cut the length of the trimmer line to 15".
Do not allow the length of the lines to vary more than one inch. This is important to make sure the trimmer head is balanced and does not vibrate.
NOTE: To extend the life of the trimmer line, keep the trimmer line moist. If not kept moist, the nylon trimmer line will become dry and brittle. Keep extra trimmer line in a can of water. The line will then stay flexible and easy to change. A flexible line will also last much longer.
How to Replace the Trimmer Line on Slide-Through Version
Familiarize yourself with the trimmer head. (SEE FIGURE 6) Trimmer head has four small exit holes and four large entrance holes. Properly loaded trimmer line will have one inch exposed out the small exit hole and the remaining portion of the line sticking out of the large entrance hole.
1.Before replacing the trimmer line make sure the engine is stopped and wait for all moving parts to come to a stop.
2.Remove old line pieces from trimmer head.
NOTE: One inch of trimmer line should be exposed from the small exit hole. Grab onto this exposed line a pull old line out of trimmer head through the exit hole. SEE FIGURE 7
3.Install the new trimmer line into the large entrance hole, making sure to only expose one inch of line out of the exit hole. SEE FIGURE 8
NOTE: Too little of line exposed on the exit side can make it difficult to remove old line. Too much line exposed can cause the line to pull out of the trimmer head.
4.Pull with force on the entrance hole side of the line to ensure that the line is securely seated in the trimmer head.
NOTE: Trimmer line should only be able to feed in one direction through the trimmer head. Use of recommended line is important for proper function.
5.Repeat steps 1-4 for each piece of replacement trimmer line.
WARNING
BEFORE YOU INSPECT, CLEAN OR SERVICE THE TRIMMER, STOP THE ENGINE. MAKE SURE THAT ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE STOPPED. DISCONNECT THE WIRE FROM THE SPARK PLUG.

STORAGE
When the trimmer is put in storage for thirty days or more, follow the steps below to make sure the trimmer is in good condition the following season.
Trimmer:
Completely clean the trimmer
Put the trimmer in a building that has good ventilation.
NOTE: A yearly check-up or tune-up at an authorized service dealer will ensure that the trimmer will provide maximum performance for the next season.
Engine:
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, and tank during storage. Also, using alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
1.Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline. If you do not want to remove gasoline, add a fuel stabilizer to any gasoline left in the tank. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formation of gum deposits and acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix the fuel stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate container and add the mixture to the tank. Always follow the instructions on the stabilizer container. Run the engine at least ten minutes after stabilizer is added to allow the mixture to reach the carburetor.
2.Drain the oil from a warm engine. Fill the engine crankcase with new oil.
3.Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil starter handle so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder.
4.Completely clean the trimmer, including dirt and debris from the cylinder cooling fins and the engine housing.
5.When not in use, disconnect spark plug lead and store in a well-ventilated area inaccessible to children.
WARNING
DO NOT REMOVE GASOLINE WHILE INSIDE A BUILDING, NEAR A FIRE, OR WHILE YOU SMOKE. GASOLINE FUMES CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR A FIRE.
