WARNING:

OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check and maintain the proper oil level in the crank case; it is important and cannot be overemphasized. Check the oil before each use and change it as needed. See Changing the Oil.

RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. Check the oil before each use and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, can

cause premature engine wear and failure. Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.

ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid

damage to the unit, put oil in the crankcase before you attempt to start the unit.

Your unit is supplied with one 3.04 fluid oz. (90 ml.) bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil (Fig. 4).

NOTE: Save the bottle of oil. It can be used to measure the

correct amount during future oil changes. See Changing the Oil.

1. Unscrew the top of the bottle of oil and remove the paper seal covering the opening. Replace the top. Next, cut the tip off the funnel spout (Fig. 4).

2. Tip unit so that the back of the engine is facing up in a vertical position.

3. Remove the oil fill plug from the crankcase (Fig. 6).

4. Pour the entire bottle of oil into the oil fill hole (Fig. 5).

NOTE: Never add oil to the fuel or fuel tank.

OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

5. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled and reinstall the oil fill plug.

Check oil before each use and change as needed. Refer to Checking the Oil Level.

RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE

Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit performance. Be sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.

NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid damage

to the unit, do not mix oil with gasoline.

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 or form acids when stored. Use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.

Using Blended Fuels

If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:

• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline

• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent

• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit

Using Fuel Additives

The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in the carburetor for up to six (6) months. 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 gas tank.

FUELING THE UNIT

1. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 7).

2. Place the gas container’s spout into the fill hole on the fuel tank (Fig. 7) and fill the tank.

NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.

3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

4. Reinstall the fuel cap.

5. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling source and site before starting the engine.

NOTE: Dispose of the old gasoline in accordance to Federal, State and Local regulations.

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.

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:

Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.

WARNING:

Avoid accidental starting. Make sure you are in the starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 10). To avoid serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting. Make sure that any Add-On item is installed correctly and secure before starting the unit.

Removing the Cutting Attachment or Add-On

1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 13).

2. Press and hold the release button (Fig. 11).

3. While firmly holding the upper shaft housing, pull the

cutting attachment or add-on straight out of the EZ-Link™ coupler (Fig. 12).

Installing the Cutting Attachment or Add-On

NOTE: Place the unit on the ground or on a work bench to

make add-on installation or removal easier.

1. Turn knob counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 13).

2. While firmly holding the add-on, push it straight into the EZ-

Link™ coupler (Fig. 12).

NOTE: Aligning the release button with the guide recess will

help installation (Fig. 11).

3. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten (Fig. 13).

For edging (when using the line head cutting attachment with EZ-Link™ models), lock the release button of the cutting attachment into the 90° edging hole (Fig. 13).

HOLDING THE TRIMMER

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig. 14). Check for the following:

• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing

• With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s right hand is holding the shaft grip

• The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand holding the assist 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 over

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. 15) while operating the trimmer at high speed.

NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line

release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter.

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

For best results, tap the Bump Head™ on bare ground or hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter.

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

• For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.

• 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.

• Cutting from right to 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 proper adherence of explained trimming techniques, what vegetation is cut, and where vegetation is cut.

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 and more.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 16).

WARNING:

Before you begin using any attachment, read and understand the manual

that came with the attachment. Follow all safety information contained within.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the unit, shut the unit off before removing or installing add-ons.

CAUTION:

Lock the release button in the primary hole and securely tighten the knob before operating this unit.

CAUTION:

Add-ons are to be used in the primary hole only. Using the wrong hole could lead to 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.

WARNING:

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.

Using 10.5 ft. (3.2 m) of 0.095 in. (2.41 mm) replacement line push an end of the line through one of the eyelets until it protrudes through the opposite side. Continue pushing or pulling the line until the line is evenly distributed, so approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) is visible from both sides of the cutting head.(Fig. 18)

Hold the cutting head knob and turn the cutting head clockwise to wind the line around the spool until 5 in. (12.7 cm) is protruding from each side of the cutting head.(Fig. 19)

NOTE: If winding the line from a large spool of line, cut the line

from the spool so that it measures 5” from the eyelet.

4. Start the unit and bump the cutting head on the ground until the desired cutting length is achieved.

REMOVING THE OLD LINE OR OBSTRUCTIONS NOTE:

There should only be a need to remove the bump cap if the old line gets jammed or an obstruction preventing the new line from being installed properly.

1. Firmly press in on the tabs that are on each side of the cutting head. (Fig. 20)

NOTE: It may be easier to press in and then up on one tab at

a time.

2. Remove the cap either by letting it pop off or a slight wiggle of the cap may be required and pull it off the outer spool (Fig. 21)

3. Remove any old line from the inner reel or obstructions from the outer spool. (Fig. 22)

4. Place the inner reel back into the outer spool (Fig. 21).

3. Wash the filter in detergent and water (Fig. 31). Rinse the filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.

4. Apply enough clean SAE 30 motor oil to lightly coat the filter (Fig. 32).

5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil (Fig. 33).

6. Replace the filter (Fig. 34).

NOTE: If the unit is operated without the air filter, you will

VOID the warranty.

7. Reinstall the air filter cover. Position the slots on the top of the air filter cover onto the tabs at the top of the back plate (Fig. 30).

8. Swing the cover down until the tab on the air filter backplate snaps into place in the slot on the air filter cover (Fig. 30).

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable. An idle adjustment screw is between the air filter cover and the engine starter housing (Fig. 35).

NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit. An authorized service dealer should

make carburetor adjustments.

Check Fuel

Old fuel is usually the reason for improper unit performance. Drain and refill the tank with fresh 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. 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 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.

2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, insert a small phillips in between the Air Filter Cover and the Engine Cover (Fig. 35). 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, 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.

ROCKER ARM CLEARANCE

This requires disassembly of the engine. If you feel unsure or unqualified to perform this, take the unit to an authorized service center.

NOTE: Inspect the valve to rocker arm clearance with a

feeler gauge after the first 10 hours of operation and every 25 hours of operation.

• The engine must be cold when checking or adjusting the valve

clearance.

• This task should be performed inside, in a clean, dust free area.

1. Remove the six (6) screws on the back of the engine cover with a Flat-head or T-25 Torx screwdriver (Fig. 36).

2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

3. Clean dirt from around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8 in. socket counterclockwise.

4. Remove the engine cover (Fig. 36).

5. Clean dirt from around the rocker arm cover. Remove the screw holding the rocker arm cover with a large flat blade screwdriver or Torx T-25 bit (Fig. 37). Remove the rocker arm cover and gasket.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each use:

1. Stop the engine and allow oil to drain into the crankcase.

2. Place the engine on a flat, level surface with the cutting head shield hanging off a work bench or table to get a proper oil level reading (Fig. 24).

3. Keep dirt, grass clippings and other debris out of the engine. Clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.

4. Remove the oil fill plug.

5. Look into the oil fill hole, use a flashlight if needed. The oil should be just touching the inner most thread (Fig. 25).

6. If the oil level is not touching the inner most thread on the oil fill hole, add a small amount of oil to the oil fill hole and recheck (Fig. 25). Repeat this procedure until the oil level reaches the inner most thread on the oil fill hole.

NOTE: Do not overfill the unit. NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug

when checking and changing the oil (Fig. 26).

CHANGING THE OIL

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow freely and carry away more impurities.

1. Unplug spark plug boot to prevent accidental starting.

2. Remove the oil fill plug.

3. Pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into a container by tipping the unit to a vertical position (Fig. 27). Allow ample time for complete drainage.

4. Wipe up any oil residue on the unit and clean up any oil that may have spilled. Dispose of the oil according to Federal, State and local regulations.

5. Refill the crankcase with 3.04 fluid ounce (90 ml) of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil.

NOTE:

Use the bottle and spout saved from initial use to measure the correct amount of oil. The top of the label on the bottle measures approximately 3.04 ounces (90 ml) (Fig. 29). Check the level, See Checking the Oil Level. If the level is low, add a small amount of oil and recheck. Do not overfill (Fig. 25).

6. Replace the oil fill plug.

7. Reconnect the spark plug boot.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of operation. It is an important item to maintain. Failure to maintain your air filter properly can result in poor performance or can cause permanent damage to your engine.

1. Open the air filter cover. Push the tab on the under side of the cover inward. Then pull the air filter cover out and up. (Fig. 30).

2. Remove the air filter (Fig. 34).

up towards the bump cap.

5. Replace the bump cap by aligning the tabs of the bump cap with the tab lock windows of the outer spool and press down firmly until both tabs snap back into place. (Fig. 23)

To install new line, please refer to the Line Installation section.

6. Pull the starter rope slowly to bring the piston to the top of its travel, (known as top dead center). Check that:

• The piston is at the top of its travel while looking in the spark plug hole (Fig. 37).

• Both rocker arms move freely, and both valves are closed.

If these statements are not true, repeat this step.

7. Slide the feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve return spring. Measure the clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm (Fig. 38). Measure both the intake and exhaust valves.

The recommended clearance for both intake and exhaust is .003 – .006 in. (.076 – 0.152 mm). Use a standard automotive .005 in. (0.127 mm) feeler gauge. The feeler gauge should slide between the rocker arm and valve stem with a slight amount of resistance, without binding. See Figures 38 and 39.

8. If the clearance is not within specification:

a. Turn the adjusting nut using a 5/16 inch (8 mm) wrench or nut driver (Fig. 39).

• To increase clearance, turn the adjusting nut counterclockwise.

• To decrease clearance, turn the adjusting nut clockwise.

b. Recheck both clearances, and adjust as necessary.

9. Reinstall the rocker arm cover using a new gasket. Torque the screw to 20–30 in•lb (2.2–3.4 N•m).

10. Check the spark plug and reinstall. See Replacing the Spark Plug.

11. Replace the spark plug wire.

12. Reinstall the engine cover. Check alignment of the cover before tightening the screws. Tighten screws.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

Use a replacement part number 753-05255 spark plug. The correct air gap is 0.025 in. (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. Remove the six (6) screws on the back of the engine cover with a Flat-head or T-25 Torx screwdriver (Fig. 40).

2. Grasp the plug wire firmly and pull the cap from the spark plug.

3. Clean dirt from around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head by turning a 5/8 in. socket counterclockwise.

4. Replace cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at 0.025 in. (0.635 mm.) using a feeler gauge (Fig. 40).

5. Install a correctly-gapped spark plug in the cylinder head. Turn the 5/8 in. 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. SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE

1. Remove the rear engine cover. See Rocker Arm Clearance.

2. With a flat blade screwdriver or Torx T-20 bit and a T-25 bit, remove the screws attaching the spark arrestor cover to the muffler (Fig. 41).

3. Pull the tab on the spark arrestor cover out of the muffler. Remove the spark arrestor cover.

4. Remove the spark arrestor screen from the spark arrestor cover.
