MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTOR

NOTICE:

The spark arrestor on this product has not been evaluated by the USDA Forest Service and cannot

be used on U.S. forest lands. In addition, product users must comply with Federal, State, and local

re prevention regulations. Check with appropriate authorities. Contact Customer Service or your

authorized service center to purchase a replacement spark arrestor.

If the trimmer appears less efcient or powerful, it may be due to the build-up of carbon deposits

around the exhaust port and mufer. This may occur depending on the type of fuel used, the type and

amount of lubricant used, or the operating conditions. In order to restore performance, take the trimmer

to an authorized service center or qualied individual to remove the blockage.

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 50 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance

of your product. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending on the model purchased.

Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The cutting attachment should never turn at idle. If the cutting attachment moves at idle speed,

discontinue use immediately and contact an authorized service center to have the tool repaired.

Serious personal injury could result from the cutting attachment turning at idle.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (See Figs. 45-48)

Keep the air lter clean for proper performance and long life.

■ Loosen the screw to remove the air lter cover (Fig. 45).

■ Remove the air lter from the air lter cover (Fig. 46).

WARNING

The trimmer head will move when adjusting the idle speed. Wear protective clothing and keep all

bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. (15 m) away. Keep the trimmer off the ground and away

from any objects when making adjustments. Keep all parts of your body away from the trimmer head

and mufer. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury.
