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 operator’s 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 correct 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.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
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 modications.
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 dened 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 dened
in Subsection (b)(2). A statement in such written instructions to the eect 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 dened in Subsection (b)(2), the manu-
facturer must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufcient 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 modied parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not
be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modied 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
