Adding grease and lubricant
-The gearbox of the pole hedge trimmer should be greased every 20 working hours. Add approx. 10cc of lubricant (Shell Alvania No. 3 or equivalent) to the gearbox via the grease nipples. (Some grease will emerge from the head of the gearbox (located at the base of the blade) when the pole hedge trimmer is set in motion the first time after greasing. Use this as a rough indicator for the amount of grease to supply.)
Note: Observe greasing intervals and the amount of grease to be supplied. Mechanical parts of the pole hedge trimmer may be damaged if grease is not supplied at the prescribed intervals or if an insufficient amount of grease is added.
Fuel tank filter
-The inside of the fuel tank is equipped with a filter (1) that cleans the fuel before it enters the carburetor.
-Visually check the filter at regular intervals. To do so, use a piece of wire formed into a hook and draw the filter out of the tank (2). Replace the filter if it is hardened, clogged up, or excessively contaminated.
-Inadequate fuel supply as a result of a deteriorated fuel filter may result in poor engine performance. In order to ensure that the required amount of fuel enters the carburetor, replace the fuel filter whenever in doubt of its condition.
Cleaning the muffler outlet
-Check the condition of the muffler outlet (3) at regular intervals.
-Use a suitable tool to remove excessive carbon residue that accumulates around the muffler outlet. Take special care to prevent removed carbon residue from entering engine parts.
Cleaning the spark arrester
-The spark arrester should be cleaned every 50 working hours.
-Have the spark arrester cleaned at your dealership or by an authorized service agent.
For all maintenance work not mentioned in this instruction manual, please contact your dealership or an authorized service agent.
