MAINTENANCE

REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER

See Figures 16 and 17.

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

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

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

3.Install the filter, align tabs, push in, and make sure the latches are locked into 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 perfor- mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or the filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARKING PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0.63mm (0.025 in) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.

STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)

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

2.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.

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