Fuel filter (Fig. 3-5)

Remove the fuel filter from the fuel tank and thoroughly wash it in solvent. After that, push the filter into the tank completely.

NOTE !

If the filter is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.

Cleaning the cylinder fins (Fig. 3-6)

When wood chips are caught between cylinder fins, the engine may overheat, resulting in lower output. To avoid this, always keep cylinder fins and fan case clean.

Every 100 Operating hours, or once a year (more often if conditions require), clean fins and external surfaces of engine of dust, dirt and oil deposits which can contribute to improper cooling.

Cleaning the muffler (Fig. 3-7)

Remove the muffler and spark arrestor (if so equipped), and clean out any excess carbon from the exhaust port or muffler inlet every 100 hours of operation.

For long-term storage

Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil. Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.

Maintenance schedule

Below you will find some general maintenance instructions. For further information please contact Tanaka dealer.

Daily maintenance

Clean the exterior of the unit.

Check that the drilling attachment is properly centred, sharp, and without cracks. An offcentred bit induces heavy vibrations that may damage the unit.

Chock that the drilling attachment is sufficiently tightened.

Check that nuts and screws are sufficiently tightened.

Weekly maintenance

Check the starter, especially cord and return spring.

Clean the exterior of the spark plug.

Remove it and check the electrode gap. Adjust it to 0.6 mm, or change the spark plug.

Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and check that the air intake at the starter is not clogged.

Check that the angle gear is filled with grease up to 3/4.

Clean the air filter.

Monthly maintenance

Rinse the fuel tank with gasoline.

Clean the exterior of the carburetor and the space around it.

Clean the fan and the space around it.

The Tanaka TED-270 series is a collection of high-performance brushcutters, designed for both professional landscapers and home gardeners. Ranging from the TED-270PFL to the TED-270PFRS, each model inherits robust engineering principles while offering unique features tailored to specific user requirements.

At the heart of these models is an efficient 26.9cc two-stroke engine, delivering powerful performance for cutting through thick grass, weeds, and underbrush. The engine is designed with a focus on fuel efficiency, promoting longer operational times and reducing the frequency of refueling. The lightweight construction, typically around 10.6 lbs, enhances portability, making these brushcutters easy to maneuver around gardens and larger landscapes.

The TED-270PFL and TED-270PFLS models are equipped with a straight shaft design that allows for extended reach, making it simpler to clear hard-to-reach areas such as beneath fences or around trees. These models also incorporate a quick-release harness system, providing additional comfort and support during extended use.

In contrast, the TED-270PFR and TED-270PFRS models feature a curved shaft design, which enables better handling and control. This design is particularly favored by users who prioritize ease of use over extended reach. The curved shaft models are adept at maintaining precision when trimming grass along edges and in tighter spaces.

The TED-270PFHS, TED-270PFDH, and TED-270PFDLS versions come with added versatility, pairing the powerful engine with various cutting attachments, including brush blades, string trimmers, and more. This adaptability allows users to switch quickly between different cutting tasks with minimal downtime.

All models in the TED-270 series share key technologies, such as easy-start systems that minimize starting effort, anti-vibration features to reduce operator fatigue, and advanced air filtration systems that prolong engine life by keeping harmful debris out.

Moreover, these brushcutters comply with stringent emissions regulations, ensuring lower environmental impact while maintaining high performance. The robust and ergonomic design ensures that the Tanaka TED-270 series is not just efficient but also user-friendly, catering to both novices and seasoned professionals in the landscaping field.

With their combination of power, versatility, and user-centric features, the Tanaka TED-270 series stands out as a reliable choice for anyone looking to achieve professional-grade results in their landscaping endeavors.
