TRIMMER

Always observe safety rules when per- forming any maintenance.

TIRES

Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rub- ber.

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.

20" models use .130 inch diameter trim- mer line. Cut new trimmer line length to 16-3/4 inches.

22" models use .155 inch diameter trim- mer line. Cut new trimmer line length to 18-3/4 inches.

After new line is installed on trimmer head, check all lines so they do not vary more then one (1) inch in length. This is im- portant to make sure the trimmer head is balanced and will not vibrate abnormally. WARNING: Use only the specifi ed 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 CUT LINE TO PROPER LENGTH NOTE: Trimmer line pre-cut to proper length is available for this unit; see the Repair Parts section of this manual.

If trimmer line is purchased in bulk, it must be cut to length before using. Use the built-in length guage as follows:

1.From front of trimmer, place the end of spooled trimmer line at the mark on the side of the debris shield as shown.

2.Wrap trimmer line around front of chas- sis cover to other side and cut at the mark (for your unit’s width of cut).
