OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
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
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 you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended that you use our 2­cycle 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 gasoline 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 below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed with
one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio.
NOTE: Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to
Federal, State and Local regulations.

MIXING RATIO - 40:1
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable.
Ignited vapors may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place
.
WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated
outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
CAUTION: For proper engine operation and
maximum reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and fuel mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.

4. Crouch in the starting position (Fig. 11), squeeze the throttle control, and pull the starter rope out with a
controlled and steady motion 5 times. NOTE: The unit uses Spring Assist Starting™, which
significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.
5. Place the blue choke lever in Position 2 (Fig. 10).
6. While squeezing the throttle control, pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion until the engine starts.
7. Keep the throttle squeezed and allow the engine to warm up for 15 to 30 seconds.
NOTE: Engine may take longer to warm up and reach maximum operating speed at colder temperatures.
NOTE: Unit is properly warmed up when engine accelerates without hesitation.
8. Once the engine is warmed up, place the blue choke lever in Position 3 (Fig. 10). The unit is ready for use.
IF... the engine hesitates, return the blue choke lever to
Position 2 (Fig. 10) and continue warm-up.
IF... the engine does not start, go back to step 2. IF... the engine fails to start after a few attempts, place
the blue choke lever in Position 3 and squeeze the throttle control. Pull the starter rope out with a controlled and steady motion 3 to 8 times. The engine should start. If not, repeat.
IF WARM... If the engine is already warm, start the unit
with the blue choke lever in Position 2. After the unit starts, move the blue choke lever to Position 3.

STARTING / STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
8
NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head™ on the ground while the
unit is running.
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
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
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 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 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:
Following the trimming techniques
What vegetation is being cut
Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.
HOLDING THE TRIMMER
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig.
12). Check for the following:
The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing
With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s hand is holding the shaft grip
The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand holding the D-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 ove
r
ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 13) while operating the trimmer at high speed.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line releases. A blade in the cutting attachment 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 you attempt 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.
Fig. 13
Fig. 12
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° angle to the ground (Fig. 14).
Fig. 14
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting
blade assembly. Excessive line length will make the clutch overheat. This may lead to serious personal injury or damage to the unit.
WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and
body protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.

2. Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from
the cylinder head by turning a 5/8-inch socket counterclockwise.
3. Replace a cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at
0.025 in. (0.635 mm) using a feeler gauge (Fig. 31).
4. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head.
Tighten by turning the 5/8-inch socket clockwise until snug.
If using a torque wrench torque to 110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5
N•m). Do not over tighten.
CLEANING
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If you plan on storing the unit for an extended time, use the following storage procedure:
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a container with the
same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State and Local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that
all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 1
oz. (30 ml) of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the
cylinder before attempting to start the trimmer after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or
damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
TRANSPORTING
• Allow the engine to cool before transporting.
• Drain fuel from unit.
• Tighten fuel cap before transporting.
• Secure the unit while transporting.
2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, insert a small phillips or flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the air filter/muffler cover (Fig.
30). 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 mixture, cleaning the air filter, 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
Have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized service dealer.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
Use a Champion RDJ7Y spark plug, or equivalent. The correct air gap is 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Remove the plug after every 25 hours of operation and check its condition.
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the plug wire firmly and pull the boot from the spark plug.

Fig. 31
Check Fuel Mixture
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel is usually the reason for improper unit performance. Drain and refill the tank with fresh, properly-mixed fuel prior to making any adjustments. Refer to Oil and Fuel Information.
Clean Air Filter
The condition of the air filter is important to the operation of the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow and change the air/fuel mixture. This is often mistaken for an out of adjustment carburetor. Check the condition of the air filter before adjusting the idle speed screw. Refer to Air Filter Maintenance.
Adjust Idle Speed Screw
If, after checking the fuel mixture and cleaning the air filter, 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 minute to warm up. Refer to Starting/Stopping Instructions.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 30).
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit.
An authorized service dealer should make carburetor adjustments.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The cutting attachment may spin
during idle speed adjustments. Wear protective clothing and observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury,
make sure the cutting attachment has stopped rotating before you turn it off and set it down.
WARNING: Do not sand blast, scrape or clean
electrodes. Grit in the engine could damage the cylinder.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or maintain it.
