Maintenance schedule
Below you will find some general maintenance instructions.
Daily maintenance
• Check throttle trigger and throttle trigger lockout function. |
• Check stop switch function. |
• Check that blade/trimmer head does not rotate at idling. |
• Clean the exterior of the machine. |
• Check that the harness is undamaged. |
• Check the guard for damage or cracks. |
• Change the guard in case of impacts or cracks. |
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly while idling always check the spark plug first.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be changed after about one month of operation or earlier if necessary.
NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.
Angle gear
The angle gear is filled with a sufficient quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the angle gear is filled to 3/4 with grease. Use special grease.
Normally, the grease does not need to be changed except when repairs are carried out.
Two-part shaft
The end of the drive axle in the lower shaft should be lubricated with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive axle ends (splined coupling) on two- part shafts jam if they are not lubricated regularly.
