Maintenance Chart
Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of 100 feet
(30 metres) between operator, other people and animals during
these operations.
Scalping
• Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the cutting
head to about 30 degree angle to the left. By adjusting the handle you will have better
control during this operation. Do not attempt this procedure if there is any chance flying
debris could injure operator, other people or cause damage to property.
Trimming Procedures
OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Trimming Around Trees
• Trim around tree trunks with a slow approach so string
does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming
from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip
of the string and tilt cutting head slightly forward.

CARE

NOTE: Dirty air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the
carburettor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked monthly and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more
frequently.
1. Remove the air filter cover
2. Remove the filter element
3. Clean the filter element by washing in soapy water and allowing it to dry completely.
4. Soak in a mixture of 25:1 2 stroke fuel and squeeze off excess.
5. Assemble in reverse order.
Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents.
Make sure Air Filter is fitted correctly, (warranty will be void if
engine is damaged due to incorrect fitment)
Maintenance of the air filter
Always switch off the machine and pull out of spark plug H.T. lead before carrying out any
maintenance work.
