The carburettor is set at the factory for optimum performance. Take your trimmer to an authorised service
centre if any further adjustment is necessary.
Other information
Clean the outside of the machine.
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank.
Start the engine after draining the fuel.
Allow the engine to idle until it stops. This will drain the fuel out of the carburettor.

Pour a teaspoon of pure 2-stroke oil into the combustion chamber. Pull the starter cord slowly a few
times to lubricate the inner components. Replace the spark plug.
Store the machine in a cool, dry place at a safe distance from sources of sparks such as oil burners
and hot water heaters etc.

Pull the starter cord briskly to remove excess oil from the combustion chamber.
Clean and check the electrode gap on the spark plug, or replace with a new one with the correct
