TRIMMER
Always observe safety rules when perform-
ing any maintenance.
TIRES
•Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rubber.
•Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause
tire damage.
TRIMMER LINE
For best results, replace trimmer lines when they have worn to half their original length. Use .130 inch diameter trimmer
line. Cut new trimmer line length to
trimmer head, check all lines so they do not vary more then one (1) inch in length. This is important to make sure the trimmer head is balanced and will not vibrate abnormally.
_WARNING: Use only the specified trimmer line. Do not use other materials
such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during trimming and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury.
TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE
•Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with spark plug.
•Remove worn trimmer line from line carrier plate.
•Fold new, cut to length, trimmer line in half and insert folded end through carrier plate opening to back side of retainer clip.
•With folded end of line at back side of
retainer clip, pull line outward until line is fully seated under the retainer clip.
•Repeat on other side of carrier plate.
•Check all lines to be sure they are the same length.
•Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
