MAINTENANCE

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 loos- ened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with .025 in. electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.

STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)

See Figure 30.

nDrain all fuel from tank into a container approved for gasoline. Run engine until it stops.

nClean 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.

nAbide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be used up in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.

�n Always place the sheath on the saw bar when transporting or storing the pruner. The sheath is a snug fit and must be attached very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the saw chain. This is best done by grasping the sheath at one end, in the center portion of the sheath, and carefully sliding it over the chain as shown below. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
