GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this trimmer does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive

full value from the warranty, operator must maintain trimmer as instructed in this

manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your unit. At least once a season, check to see if you should make any of the adjustments

described in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

•At least once a year, replace the spark plug and replace air filter element. A new spark plug and clean/new air filter element assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

•Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

1.Check engine oil level.

2.Check for loose fasteners.

3.Clean under engine cover.

LUBRICATION

To prolong the useful life of your trimmer,

change engine oil as recommended in this section of Owner's Manual,

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease plastic

wheel bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that will shorten the

life of the self- lubricating bearings. If you feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
