Inspection and Refill of Engine Oil
– Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down.
– While keeping the engine level, remove the oil gauge, and confirm that the oil is filled within the upper and lower limit marks.
When the oil is in short in such a way that the oil gauge touches the oil only by its tip, in particular with the oil gauge remaining inserted in the
crankcase without screwing-in (Fig. 1), refill new oil near the port (Fig. 2).
– For reference, the oil refill time is about 15 h (refill frequency: 15 times).
– If the oil changes in color or mixes with dirt, replace it with new one. (For the interval and method of replacement, refer to P. 18)
Recommended oil: SAE 10W-30 oil of API Classification, Class SF or higher (4-stroke engine for automobile)
Oil volume: Approx. 0.1 L
Note: If the engine is not kept upright, oil may go into around the engine, and may be refilled excessively.
If the oil is filled above the limit, the oil may be contaminated or may catch fire with white.
Point 1 in Replacement of Oil : “Oil Gauge”
– Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil gauge.
– Keep the detached oil gauge free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil gauge may cause irregular oil circulation
or wear on the engine parts, which will result in troubles.
– As an example to keep the oil gauge clean, it is recommended to insert the oil gauge on its knob side into the engine cover, as shown in
Fig.3.
(1) Keep the engine level, and detach the oil gauge.
(2) Fill oil up to the edge of the oil refill port. (Refer to Fig.2).
Feed oil with the lubricant refill container.
(3) Securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening may cause oil leakage.
Point 2 in Replacement of Oil: “If oil spills out”
– If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will contaminate
the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation.

REFUELING
Handling of Fuel
It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently
ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the skin
becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still irritated,
consult your doctor.
Storage Period of Fuel
Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.
If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
STORAGE OF MACHINE AND REFILL TANK
– Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.
– Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.
Fuel
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).
Points for Fuel
– Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles.
– Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.
– EBH340UG :This model has adapted for use with brazillian Gasoline(E25).
Refueling
WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Gasoline used: Automobile gasoline (unleaded gasoline)
– Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric
pressure.
– Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that
the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to the oil refill port.)
– Wipe well the periphery of the tank cap to prevent foreign matter from entering
into the fuel tank.
– After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.

The nylon cutting head is a dual string trimmer head capable of both automatic
and bump & feed mechanisms.
The nylon cutting head will automatically feed out the proper length of nylon cord
by the changes in centrifugal force caused by increasing or decreasing rpms.
However, to cut soft grass more efficiently, bump the nylon cutting head against
the ground to feed out extra cord as indicated under operation section.
Operation
– Increase the nylon cutting head speed to approx. 6,000min-1.
Low speed (under 4,800min
-1
) is not suitable, the nylon cord will not feed out
properly at low speed.
– The most effective cutting area is shown by the shaded area.
If the nylon cord does not feed out automatically proceed as follows:
1. Release the throttle lever to run the engine idle and then squeeze the throttle
lever fully. Repeat this procedure until the nylon cord feeds out to the proper
length.
2. If the nylon cord is too short to feed out automatically with the above
procedure, bump the knob of the nylon cutting head against the ground to
feed out the nylon cord.
3. If the nylon cord does not feed out with procedure 2, rewind/replace the nylon
cord by following the procedures described under “Replacing the nylon cord”

To ensure a long service life and to avoid any damage to the equipment, the following servicing operations should be performed at regular
intervals.
Daily checkup and maintenance
– Before operation, check the machine for loose screws or missing parts. Pay particular attention to the tightness of the cutter blade or nylon
cutting head.
– Before operation, always check for clogging of the cooling air passage and the cylinder fins.
Clean them if necessary.
– Perform the following work daily after use:
• Clean the petrol brush cutter externally and inspect for damage.
• Clean the air filter. When working under extremely dusty conditions, clean the filter the several times a day.
• Check the blade or the nylon cutting head for damage and make sure it is firmly mounted.
• Check that there is sufficient difference between idling and engagement speed to ensure that the cutting tool is at a standstill while the engine
is idling (if necessary reduce idling speed).
If under idling conditions the tool should still continue to run, consult your nearest Authorized Service Agent.
– Check the functioning of the I-O switch, the lock-off lever, the throttle lever.
REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE OIL
Deteriorated engine oil will shorten the life of the sliding and rotating parts to a great extent. Be sure to check the period and quantity of
replacement.
ATTENTION: In general, the engine main unit and engine oil still remain hot just after the engine is stopped. In replacement of oil,
confirm that the engine main unit and engine oil are sufficiently cooled down. Otherwise, there may remain a risk of
scald.
Note: If the oil filled above the limit, it may be contaminated or may catch fire with white smoke.
Interval of replacement: Initially, every 20 operating hours, and subsequently every 50 operating hours
Recommended oil: SAE10W-30 oil of API Classification SF Class or higher (4-stroke engine oil for automobile)
In replacement, perform the following procedure.
1) Confirm that the tank cap is tightened securely.
2) Detach the oil gauge.
Keep the oil gauge free from dust or dirt.
3) Place waste or paper near the oil refill port.

4) Detach the oil gauge, and drain oil, tilting the main unit toward the oil refill port.
Drain oil in a container.
5) Keep the engine level, and feed new oil up to the edge of the oil refill port.
In refill, use a lubricant refill container.
6) After refill, securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening of the oil
gauge will lead to oil leakage.
POINTS ON OIL
– Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the
relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.
– Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every 6
months).
CLEANING OF AIR CLEANER
DANGER: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours)
– Turn the choke lever to the full close side, and keep the carburetor off from
dust or dirt.
– Remove the air cleaner cover-fixing bolts.
– Pull the cover lower side and detach the air cleaner cover.
– If oil adheres to the element (sponge), squeeze it firmly.
– For heavy contamination:
1) Remove the element (sponge), immerse it in warm water or in water-diluted
neutral detergent, and dry it completely.
2) Clean the element (felt) with gasoline, and dry it completely.
– Before attaching the element, be sure to dry it completely. Insufficient drying
of the element may lead to difficult startup.
– Wipe out with waste cloth, oil adhering around the air cleaner cover and plate
breather.

– Ce phénomène se produit en particulier lors de coupes effectuées dans
l'angle de lame compris entre midi et 2 h.
– Ne jamais utiliser la débroussailleuse dans I'angle de la lame compris entre
midi et 2 h
– Ne jamais utiliser un tel angle de la lame pour la coupe de matériaux solides
tels buissons, arbres etc. dont le diamètre est supérieur à 3 cm car la
débroussailleuse scrait alors déviée avec une force importante et pourrait
ainsi provoquer des blessures.
㩷
㩷
Prévention contre l’effet de retour
Observer les points suivants pour éviter l’effet de retour:
– Le mode de fonctionnement "Angle de lame entre midi et 2 h" présente
certaines risques, en particulier lors de l'utilisation d'outils de coupe
métalliques.
– Seuls des utilisateurs formés et expérimentés peuvent procéder à des
travaux de coupe avec des angles de lame compris entre 11 et midi ou 2 et 5
h, et ce uniquement à leurs propres risques. Une coupe facile et quasiment
exempte de retour peut s’effectuer à un angle compris entre 8 et 11 h.
