5. Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.

OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean

unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture. DEFINITION OF BLENDED FUELS

_L_ ARN ING, It has been proven that fuel containing greater than 15% ethanol will likely damage this engine

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% _

water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It forms acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).

USING BLENDED FUELS ° If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow

recommended precautions: UNLEADED GAS 2 CYCLE OIL

HOLDING THE UNIT

-- i_L_ ARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and body protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig. 7). Check for the following:

ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH Fig, 7

_ ARNING: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause /

The Bump Head TM cutting head allows the release of trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting head on the ground (Fig. 8) while operating the unit at high speed.

NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line

Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line releases. A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the proper length if any excess line is released.

For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. If attempting a line release in tall grass, the engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.

NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head on the ground while the unit is running. Some line breakage will occur from:

TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS

For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.

DECORATIVE TRIMMING Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 9).

gets shorter.

Entanglement with foreign matter Normal line fatigue

Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts

Keep the cutting head parallel to the ground. Fig. 8 Do not force the cutting head. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more

than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine. Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear

or engine drag. Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are

thrown away from the operator. Slowly move the unit 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. _X

The life of the cutting line is dependent upon:

_L_ CAUTION: For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and fuel

The bottle of 2-cycle oil contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended to use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.

If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the

container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank. Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded fuel in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.

Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. See the table for specific gas and oil mixing ratios. NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded fuel mixed with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fueVoil ratio.

NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State and Local regulations.
