GENERAL CLEANING AND TIGHTENING
The MARUYAMA Hedge Trimmer will provide maximum performance for many, many hours if it is
maintained properly. Good maintenance includes regular checking of all fasteners for correct tight-
ness, and cleaning of the entire machine. Pitch and gum deposits should be removed from the cut-
ting blades daily. Adjustment of the cutting blade tension should be checked regularly. Refer to
page (10) for instructions to adjust cutting blades.
STORAGE
For long-term storage of the Hedge Trimmer, empty the
fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage container. Pump the
primer bulb on the carburetor until all fuel is discharged
through the clear fuel return hose. Run the engine to
remove any fuel that may remain in the caburetor.
Perform all regular maintenance procedures and any
needed repairs. Remove the spark plug and squirt a
very small amount of oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
cord once.
CAUTION: Oil may squirt out of the spark plug opening while pulling the starter cord. Protect
your eyes and keep your face away from the spark plug opening. Slowly pull the starter cord to
bring the piston to the top of the cylinder (TDC). Reinstall the spark plug. Liberally lubricated
the blades with a light (#10 wt.) oil Store the Hedge Trimmer in a dry place away from excessive
heat, sparks or open flame.
