Mixing Fuel
!
WArNINg
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme
caution when mixing, storing or handling fuel
or serious personal injury could result.
!
WArNINg
Always mix and store the fuel in a properly
marked container that is approved by local
codes and ordinances for such usage. Do
not mix fuel in an enclosed room or near open
flames. Assure adequate ventilation.
1. Start by filling half the quantity of gaso-
line required into a clean approved petrol
container.
2. Add the entire oil quantity.
3. Close container and mix (shake) the fuel
mixture.
4. Add the remaining quantity of gasoline.
5. Remix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully
before filling the units' fuel tank.
6. Replace fuel container cap and wipe
any spilled fuel from the container and
surrounding area.
Filling Tank
1. Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent
contamination.
2. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Rest the cap on
a clean surface.
3. Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid
spillage.
4. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and
inspect the gasket.
5. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand
tighten. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted
from a new engine after first use.
!
WArNINg
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never
add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Move at least 30 ft. (9 m) from refuel-
ing site before starting engine. Do not smoke!
POSITIONINg THE bruSH CuTTEr
!
WArNINg
Always position the unit on the operator's right
side. Using the unit on the operator's left side
will expose the user to hot surfaces and can
result in a possible burn injury.
!
WArNINg
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never oper-
ate unit with the bottom of the engine above
waist level.
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the
rear handle and the left hand on the front
handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands
while in operation. Trimmer should be held
at a comfortable position with the rear handle
about hip height. Always operate trimmer at
full throttle. Cut tall grass from the top down.
This will prevent grass from wrapping around
the shaft housing and string head which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass
becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark
plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in oil
dripping from the muffler.
!
IMPOrTANT
Clear the work area before each use. Re-
move all objects such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting line or blade.
