These replacement parts can be purchased at the retailer from which you bought your trimmer, or your local Cub Cadet dealer.

CLEANING

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 such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

STORAGE

•Never store the unit with gasoline 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.

•Store the unit in a dry, well ventilated area.

•Store the unit out of the reach of children.

LONG TERM STORAGE

If the unit will be stored for an extended time,

1.Drain all fuel from the gas tank into a container. Do not use fuel that has been stored for more than 60 days. Dispose of the old fuel in accordance to Federal, State, and Local regulations.

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

3.Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 1 oz. (30 ml) of high quality motor 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.
