MAINTENANCE

REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER

For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latch with your thumb while gently pulling on the cover.

Remove the filter, clean it in warm soapy water. Rinse and let dry completely. For best performance, replace annually.

Reinstall the filter.

Replace the air filter cover by inserting the tabs on the bottom of the cover into the slots on the air filter base; push the cover up until it latches securely in place.

FUEL CAP

WARNING:

A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ4 with .025 in. electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.

STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)

See Figure 29.

Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run engine until it stops.

Clean all foreign material from the trimmer. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.

Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be used up in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.

�Always place the sheath on the saw bar when transporting or storing the pruner. The sheath is a snug fit and must be attached very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the saw chain. This is best done by grasping the sheath at one end, in the center portion of the sheath, and carefully sliding it over the chain as shown below. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
