CLEANING AND STORAGE

CLEANING

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or do any maintenance on it.

Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

STORAGE

•Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

•Allow the engine to cool before storing.

•Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If the unit will be stored for an extended time, use the following storage procedure.

1.Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and drain into a container with the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old fuel/oil mix in accordance to Federal, State, and Local regulations.

2.Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.

3.Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 1 oz. (30 ml.) of any high quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.

NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the trimmer after storage.

4.Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.

780r specifications

The Ryobi 780R is a powerful and reliable gas-powered string trimmer known for its exceptional performance and user-friendly features. Designed for both professionals and homeowners, this tool offers versatility and efficiency for tackling tough trimming jobs around the yard.

One of the standout features of the Ryobi 780R is its robust 30cc 2-cycle engine. This engine provides ample power to handle thick weeds and overgrown grass, ensuring a clean and precise cut with every pass. The lightweight design of the trimmer enhances maneuverability, making it easy to navigate around obstacles such as trees, flower beds, and garden furniture.

The trimmer is equipped with a premium 18-inch cutting swath, allowing for a wider range to be covered in a single pass. This feature can significantly reduce the time required to complete larger trimming tasks. Additionally, the variable speed throttle gives users the flexibility to adjust the cutting power based on the density of the vegetation, offering greater control.
