UNDERSTANDING PROPANE
WARNING:
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR PROPANE UNITS
NOTE: Use propane only in containers specically designed and approved for this unit. Propane is a combustible gas, it is colorless and thus invisible to the naked eye. Propane has a harmless odorant added so that it is possible to smell it. The user should be familiar with the smell of propane (smells like sulfur or rotten eggs). If at any time the smell of propane is identied, turn o the engine. If the leak persists, remove the pro ­pane canister. Never attempt to operate a unit that has a suspected leak. Always remove the propane canister from any unit that has a suspected leak.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Burning propane makes Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO is invisible, has no smell and can kill you. Operating your trimmer in an enclosed area can be dangerous.
1. Use only in well ventilated areas. If you experience headache, drowsiness, or nausea, turn unit o and get fresh air quickly.
2. Never use where people are sleeping.
3. Follow unit instructions for proper use.
HANDLING & STORAGE
1. Keep out of reach of children.
2. Never expose cylinder to heat, sparks, or ame. Never leave in direct sunlight. Never store at tem -
°
peratures above 120 degrees F
° (49
C).
3. Never store in living spaces.
4. Always use cylinder until it is completely empty.
5. Never rell a disposable cylinder. Relling may cause an explosion. Federal law forbids transportation if re ­lled, a penalty up to $500,000, and 5 years impris ­onment (49 U.S.C. 5124).
6. Never put in luggage or take on trains or aircraft.
7. To discard, contact local refuse hauler or recycle cen
­ter. Never put in re or incinerator. Do not puncture. If your cylinder was purchased with a “Green Key” * or similar device, install it when empty and cylinder may be recycled with other steel items.
NOTE: FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD Contains enough gas to cause serious re, explosion, and burns. To reduce chance of leak, re, or explosion, take the following precautions:
BEFORE USE
1. Check cylinder and appliance seals. Never use with damaged or missing seals. Discard cylinder if dirt or rust particles are in valve area.
2. Turn trimmer o.
3. Attach cylinder outdoors away from pilot lights, ames, sparks or other ignition sources. These sources can ignite leaking gas.
4. Hand tighten only. Never use tools to tighten. Over­tightening can damage seals.
5. Check for leaks. Put soapy water on connections. Look for bubbles. Listen for hiss of escaping gas. Feel for extreme cold. Smell for rotten egg odor. Do not use if leaking.
6. Read and follow appliance instructions.
DURING USE Never use near pilot lights, ames, sparks, or other ignition sources. They can ignite leaking gas.
AFTER USE
1. Turn trimmer o and let cool.

OPERATION
Fig. 15
30°
Fig. 16
OPERATING YOUR TRIMMER
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating posi ­tion (Fig. 15). Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing.
With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s right hand is holding the shaft grip.
• The operators left arm is straight, the left hand hold - ing the handle.
• The unit is at waist level.
• The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
String advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.
1. Run engine at full throttle.
2. Tap the knob on ground to advance string. The string
advances each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on the ground.
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming
around a tree.
Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds
Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
HOLDING THE TRIMMER
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
• For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.
• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip
of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting ef - ficiency and may overload the engine.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from
top to bottom in small increments to avoid prema -
ture line wear or engine drag.
• Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting
area at the desired height. Move either in a forward- backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
1. Proper adherence to explained trimming techniques
2. What vegetation is cut
DECORATIVE TRIMMING
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more. Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30-degree angle to the ground (Fig. 16).

MAINTENANCE
CARURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable. An idle adjust ­ment screw is on the rear side of the carburetor (Fig. 22).
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit. An authorized service dealer should make carburetor adjustments.
CLEAN AIR FILTER
The condition of the air lter is important to the op ­eration of the unit. A dirty or oil saturated air lter will restrict air ow. This is often mistaken for an out of ad ­justment carburetor. Check the condition of the air lter before adjusting the idle speed screw. Refer to Cleaning
Air Filter (p. 13).
ADJUST IDLE SPEED SCREW
If, after checking the fuel and cleaning the air lter, the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed screw as follows:
1.Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a min ­ute to warm up. Refer to Starting/Stopping (p. 10) instructions.
2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, use a small phillips or at blade to turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.
NOTE: The cutting attachment should not rotate when the engine idles.
3. If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine idles, turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed), to reduce idle speed. Checking the fuel, cleaning the air lter, and adjusting the idle speed should solve most engine problems. If not and all of the following are true:
• the engine will not idle
• the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration
•there is a loss of engine power
Check the spark plug for proper gap and condition. If problem still occurs, have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized service dealer.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS
Use a replacement part number NGK CMR6A. The cor ­rect air gap is 0.02 in. (0.5 mm). Remove the plug after every 25 hours of operation and check its condition.
1.Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Remove the spark plug cover. Grasp the plug wire rmly and pull the cap from the spark plug.
2.Clean dirt from around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8 in. socket counterclockwise.
3.Replace cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at 0.02 in. (0.5 mm.) using a feeler gauge (Fig 23).
4.Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head. Turn the 5/8 in. socket clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench torque to: 110-120 in. lb. (12.3-13.5 N-m)
NOTE: Do not over tighten.
DO NOT SAND BLAST, SCRAPE, OR CLEAN SPARK PLUG ELECTRODES. GRIT IN THE ENGINE COULD DAMAGE THE CYLINDER.

7. Remove the rocker arm cover and gasket (Fig. 43).
8. Pull the starter rope slowly to bring the piston to the top of its travel, (This position is known as top dead center).Check that the piston is at the top of its travel by looking down into the spark plug hole. Both valves should be closed and the rocker arms should move freely. If this statement is not true, repeat this step.
9. Slide a feeler gage between the rocker arm and the valve return spring. Measure the distance between the rocker arm and valve stem (Fig. 44) Take care to only measure the free play. It is very easy to insert too thick a feeler gauge and accidentally depress the valve and spring. Measure both the intake and exhaust valve distances.
IF THE CLEARANCE IS NOT WITHIN SPECIFICATION
1. Loosen the jam nut and turn the adjusting screw as necessary. To increase the clearance, turn the adjusting screw CCW. To decrease the clearance, turn the adjusting screw CW.

The California Air Resources Board, the Environmental Protection Agency and LEH R, Inc. are pleased to explain the emissions control system’s warranty on your 2009 and later small o-road engine. In California and the 49 states, new equipment that use small o-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. LEH R, Inc. must warrant the emissions control system on your small o-road engine for the period listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment. Your emissions control system may include parts such as: carburetors or fuel injection system, ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, lters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also, included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors, and other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, L EHR will repair your small o-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor at an authorized service dealer.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by LEH R.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small o-road engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the re­quired maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. LEHR recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small o-road engine, but LEH R cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. As the small o-road engine owner, you should however be aware that LEHR may deny you warranty coverage if your small o-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modications. You are responsible for presenting your small o-road engine to a LEHR service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact LEHR at 1-866-941-L EHR.
DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an
ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions
engine or equipment must warrant to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent owner that the engine or equipment is:
Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations
adopted by the Air Resources Board; and free from defects in materials and work ­manship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:
Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the written instructions required by Subsection
(d) Must be warranted for the warranty period dened in Subsection (b)(2). If any such
part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instruc-
tions required by Subsection (d) must be warranted for the warranty period dened in Subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written instructions to the eect of “repair or replace as necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the
written instructions required by Subsection (d) must be warranted for the period of time prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the rst scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or replaced by the engine manufacturer according to Subsection (4) below.
Section 4: Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for
the remainder of the period prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for the part. Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty must be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above, warranty services or repairs
must be provided at all manufacturer distribution centers that are franchised to service the subject engines.
The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination
that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine components proximately
caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
Throughout the emissions warranty period dened in Subsection (b)(2), the manu-
facturer must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufcient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance
or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer.
Add-on or modied parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not
be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modied parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modi ­ed part.
The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall provide any documents that describe that
manufacturer’s warranty procedures or policies within ve working days of request by the Air Resources Board.
(d) Emission Warranty Parts List.
The following components are included in the emission related warranty of the engine:
Air Filter, Carburetor, Regulator, Fuel Lines & Fittings, Fuel Valve, Ignition Coil, Spark Plug, Valves, CAM and Mufer.
LEHR will furnish with each new engine written instructions for the maintenance and
use of the engine by the owner.
