•Things to check before using brushcutter
■REFILLING TRIMMING LINE
1.For replacement line, use a diameter of
.095 in(2.4 mm). The spool is capable for a line upto 27 ft(8 m)on the 4” head, and 46 ft(14m)on the 6” head. Avoid using a larger line as it may cut down the trimming performance. For safety reasons, do not use metalreinforced line.
2.Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the spool housing to unhook the bottom cap.
3.Take out the spool and pull off the old line. Put one end of new line through the spool holes and pull it until the length is equal between each part of the line.
4.Wind up the line in the correct as indicated on the spool.
5.Hook each end of the line in the slot on the edge of the spool, and then put the ends through the eyelets on the housing. Make sure that the spring and the washers are in place.
6. While holding the spool against the housing, pull the line ends to release them from the slot.
7.Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook on the housing, press the cap against the housing until it clicks.
WARNING
•Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the brushcutter. Contact with moving cutting head or hot muffler may result in a personal injury.
■AIR FILTER
•The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine performance. Monthly check and clean the filter element in warm, soapy water as required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is broken or shrunk, replace with a new one.
