Instructions For Use; Starting Work - Grillo X TRIMMER Manuel D'utilisation

STARTING THE ENGINE
Pull the pull-start handle slowly until resistance is felt, then give a sharp pull (always follow the
instructions in the engine manual (fig. 1, no. 3).

STARTING WORK

Bring the engine to the maximum r.p.m. Make sure there is nobody in the area to be cut, engage the
string rotation lever and start working (fig. 1, n. 2). This model does not have a wheel-drive system
and is push-type.
FINISHING WORK
To stop the engine move the throttle lever (fig. 1, n. 1) to the stop limit position (fig. 2).
CHANGING THE STRINGS
Caution! Never replace the strings with the engine running. If the cutting string is worn, it must be
replaced. Always use original strings with square section 3×3, length 430 mm. If the engine is under
strain, slightly shorten the strings. To replace the strings proceed as follows:
- tie the string in the centre (fig. 5).
- insert the two strings from the inside towards the outside (fig. 6). CAUTION: do not fit the strings at
different heights as the engine will be under strain and cutting quality will be poor.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
To adjust the cutting height, insert the strings in the holes at various heights (fig. 7, pos. A-B).
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a list of small problems which may occur during the use of the TRIMMER brush-
cutter, which the operator himself can remedy:
1) If the engine does not start carry out the following checks
- the fuel tank must be at least half full.
- the fuel must reach the carburettor
- the vent hole on the tank cap must not be blocked.
- the carburettor nozzles must be clean. To check them, unscrew and clean them if dirty.
- the plug must provide a spark. To check if it works, remove the plug reconnect it to the power
supply cable, rest the metal part on an electrical ground and turn the engine pulley as if to start it. If
no spark is seen between the two electrodes, try checking the plug cable connections and if power
is still not received, replace the plug. If the new plug still fails to work, the problem is in the
electrical system and you should contact your nearest service centre or authorized dealer.
2) When the lever is engaged the string cutter plate does not turn:
- adjust the string register (fig. 1, n. 4).
- make sure that the belt has not come out of its seat on the pulley.
- check that the engaging cable has not slipped out of the clamp on the tightener lever.
