SECTION 4: OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions

Old and/or improperly mixed fuel is the main reason for improper unit performance. 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 fresh fuel mix per 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

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.

+

UNLEADED GAS

2-CYCLE OIL

1 US. GALLON + 3.2 FL. OZ.

(3.8 LITERS)

(95 ml)

1 LITER + 25 ml

MIXING RATIO - 40:1

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 only our 2-cycle oil with this unit.

If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for aircooled 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.

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.

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, wellventilated outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.

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

SECTION 6: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Holding the Trimmer

WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and body protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position. See Figure 9. 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 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 over

Figure 9

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 while operating the trimmer at high speed. See Figure 10.

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

NOTE: Do not rest the bump knob on the ground while the unit is running.

CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length may make the unit overheat.

Some line breakage will occur from:

Entanglement with foreign matter

Normal line fatigue

An attempt 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) tall 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- to-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.

Figure 10

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.

Decorative Trimming

Decorative trimming refers to the removal of vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30° angle to the ground. See Figure 11.

Figure 11

3.Turn muffler over to the back side and locate the exhaust gasket. Remove the muffler gasket from the muffler. See Figure 26.

NOTE: If the exhaust gasket is torn or damaged, replace it with a new gasket before reassembling muffler.

4.Using a small flatblade screwdriver, carefully pry up the spark arrestor from the recessed hole. See Figure 27. Remove the spark arrestor from the muffler.

5.Clean the spark arrestor with a wire brush. Replace it if it is damaged or if it is impossible to clean thoroughly. See Figure 27.

6.Reinstall the spark arrestor by pressing it into the recessed hole on the muffler's back side. Make sure it fits tightly against the muffler and is not raised up.

7.Place the exhaust gasket against muffler's back side. Align the gasket bolt holes with the bolt holes in the muffler. While holding exhaust gasket in place, insert the bolts into the muffler's front side. See Figure 26.

8.Place the muffler (with the exhaust gasket in place and bolts inserted), against the engine, aligning the bolt holes. Tighten the bolts to secure the muffler to the engine. If using a torque wrench torque to:

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Carburetor Adjustment

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the air filter/muffler cover. See Figure 28.

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

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

WARNING: The cutting attachment will spin during idle speed adjustments. Wear protective clothing and observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.

If, after checking the fuel mixture and cleaning the air filter, the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed as follows.

1.Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up. See Starting/Stopping Instructions.

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. See Figure 28. Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.

3.If the engine appears to be idling too fast, 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 this is not the case and the following are all 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.

WARNING: After turning the unit off, make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before setting the unit down. This helps prevent serious personal injury.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Replacing the Spark Plug

Use a Champion RDJ7Y spark plug (or equivalent). The correct air gap is 0.020 inch (0.5 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 it from the spark plug.

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

3.Replace cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug. Set the air gap at 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) using a feeler gauge. See Figure 29.

CAUTION: Do not sand blast, scrape or clean electrodes. Grit in the engine could damage the cylinder.

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.

Long Term Storage

If the unit will be stored 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 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.

0.020 in.

• Secure the unit while transporting.

(0.5 mm)

• Drain fuel from unit.

 

 

• Tighten fuel cap before transporting.

 

Figure 29

Cleaning

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.

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 the unit with fuel in the tank 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.

EPA Emission Control Warranty Statement

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The Environmental Protection Agency and MTD LLC (MTD) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2002 and later small off-road engine. New small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards. Yard Machines must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injected system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, Yard Machines will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

The 2002 and later small off-road engines are warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced my Yard Machines.

Owners Warranty Responsibilities

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual. Yard Machines recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Yard Machines cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you however should be aware that Yard Machines may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to a Yard Machines Authorized Service Center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should call 1-800-345-8746.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage

The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to the retail purchaser.

The manufacturer warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser, that the engine is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

Repair or replacement of warranted part will be performed at no charge to the owner at an Authorized Yard Machines Service Center. For the nearest location please contact Yard Machines at: 1-800-345-8746.

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance or which is scheduled for only for regular inspection to the effect of “Repair or Replace as Necessary” is warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance will be warranted for the period of time up to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
