Fueling

WARNING (Fig. 3)

○ Always shut oﬀ the engine before refueling. ○ Slowly open the fuel tank (6), when ﬁ lling up with fuel, so that

possible over-pressure disappears.

○ Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling. ○ Always move the unit at least 3 m from the fueling area before

starting.

Fig.

Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fueling.

Starting

CAUTION

Before starting, make sure the cutting attachment does not touch

anything.

1. Set ignition switch (7) to ON position * Push priming bulb (10) several times so that fuel ﬂ ows through

the bulb or return pipe. (If so equipped) (Fig. 6)

(A). (Fig. 4, 5)

WARNING

The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two- stroke engine. Always

run the engine on fuel, mixed with oil.

Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.

Fuel

○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline. ○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,

please consult

○ If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality

oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

○ Never use ○ Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.

Always start by ﬁ lling half the amount of fuel, which is to be used. Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of fuel. Mix (shake) the

Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 13)

WARNING

○ The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor

adjustments.

○ Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover (15).

Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries. In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run at the factory, the carburetor is required, according to climate and altitude. The carburetor has one adjustment possibility:

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

Idle speed adjustment (T)

Check that the air ﬁ lter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close (clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment,

If contact Tanaka dealer.

Air ﬁ lter (Fig. 14)

The air ﬁ lter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:

○ Carburetor malfunctions. ○ Starting problems. ○ Engine power reduction. ○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts. ○ Abnormal fuel consumption.

Cleaning the air ﬁ lter

Remove the air ﬁ lter cover and the ﬁ lter. Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that the ﬁ lter is dry before reassembly. An air ﬁ lter that has been used for some time cannot be cleaned regularly be replaced by a new one. A damaged ﬁ lter must always be replaced.

NOTE

Saturate the element in 2-cycle oil or the equivalent. Squeeze the

element to distribute the oil completely and to remove any excess oil.

Spark plug (Fig. 15)

The spark plug condition

○ An incorrect carburetor setting. ○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline). ○ A dirty air ﬁ lter. ○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in malfunction and starting diﬃ culties. If the engine on power, diﬃ cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug ﬁ rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE

In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to

suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use the same type of spark plug for replacement.

When clearance is too large

The cutters are poor in sharpness.

To adjust the cutter clearance

1. Loosen the cutter ﬁ xing nuts.

2. Fully tighten the cutter ﬁ xing bolts and then loosen them approx. 1/2 turn. With the bolts set at that position, tighten the cutter ﬁ xing nuts.

Be sure to replace cutter guide ﬁ xing bolts when they are loosened, worn or damaged. Also be sure to replace damaged cutter blade.

NOTE

Properly lubricate the cutter sliding surfaces with machine oil.

Apply a good until a small amount comes out between the cutter blades and the gear case.

NOTE

Lubrication should be applied at 50 hour intervals and more

Fuel ﬁ lter (Fig. 19)

Remove the fuel ﬁ lter from the fuel tank and solvent. After that, push the ﬁ lter into the tank completely.

NOTE

If the ﬁ lter is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.
