Check Your Shoulder Harness and
Trimmer Adjustment
Adjusting the Harness
Adjust the harness so the quick-release latch is at your right hip, as
shown.
Balancing the Trimmer on the Shoulder Harness
Hang the trimmer on the harness hook, and see how it balances.
Adjust the shoulder harness, the harness hanger on the frame pipe,
and the loop handle or U-type handlebar, so the handle or handlebars
are in a comfortable operating position, and the trimmer hangs with its
cutting attachment a few inches above the ground (see page 14).
Check the Engine Oil Level
Check the engine oil level before each use, or every 10 hours if
operated continuously. Rest the trimmer on a level surface with the
engine stopped.
1. Rest the trimmer on a level surface as shown.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler
opening. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the
recommended oil. Avoid overfilling or underfilling, as the oil
capacity is small. Be sure the engine is in a level position, as
shown.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the
DISTRIBUTOR’S LIMITED WARRANTY (page 30).
5. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
