GENERAL INFORMATION
Two-cycle
Two-cycle engines are used on TORO Trimmers because of their:
1.
Light weight.
2.
Excellent power-to-weight ratio
3.
Ability to operate
4. Easy maintenance
5. Simple construction
The
TORO
TC-300 and TC-400 Trimmers is a third-port, loop-
scavenged design. This design name describes the path combustion chamber, and the exhausting of spent gases (Fig.

NOTE: Some states require that a spark arrester be attached to the muffler if the trimmer is to be used forested areas, or on other public lands. Be sure to check your local state laws before using your gaso­line powered trimmer.
An important part of the maintenance procedure for
all
two-cycle engines is the cleaning or decarboning
of
the
unobstructed flow of exhaust gases and particles
from the combustion chamber. A severely carboned
muffler, spark arrester screen. and/or exhaust port

TROUBLESHOOTING AND

Generally, all gasoline-powered products require some form of service or repair during their lifetime. The amount of time and expense involved ing a product can be greatly impacted by the amount of time required to initially determine the cause of the difficulty.

Checking Fuel Tank Venting

The fuel tank cap vent allows air into the tank as fuel is consumed. If this vent is blocked the engine will eventually stall.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap and inspect the vent. If the
cap is contaminated with dirt particles, the
vent may need to be replaced.
2.
The cap can be disassembled by prying up the insert with a flat screwdriver. Care should be used to prevent damage to valve (Fig- 17).
