5. For safe operation ■ BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE 1. The area within a perimeter of 50 feet (15m) of the person using the product should be considered a hazardous area into which no one should enter. If necessary yellow warning rope, warning signs should be placed around the perimeter of the area.
5. For safe operation the throttle is moved fully back to its original position. If it continues to rotate even after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and take the unit to your authorized Red Max servicing dealer for repair. ■ USING THE PRODUCT IMPORTANT Cut only materials recommended by the manufacturer. And use only for tasks explained in the manual. 1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands using your whole hand.
5. For safe operation ■ MAINTENANCE 1. In order to maintain your product in proper working order, perform the maintenance and checking operations described in the manual at regular intervals. 2. Always be sure to turn off the engine before performing any maintenance or checking procedures. WARNING The metallic parts reach high temperatures immediately after stopping the engine. 3.
5. For safe operation ■ HANDLING FUEL 1. The engine of the RedMax product is designed to run on a mixed fuel which contains highly flammable gasoline. Never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of the unit in any place where there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any other source of heat or fire which might ignite the fuel. 2. Never smoke while operating the unit or refilling its fuel tank. 3. When refilling the tank, always turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
6. Set up ■ MOUNTING ENGINE (SE1) 1. Push the driveshaft housing toward the clutch housing and rotate it by hand to check that the driveshaft is engaged with the gears. 2. Insert the driveshaft housing into the clutch housing until it bottoms, and align the positioning holes on the clutch housing and the shaft tube and install the screw. When difficult to engage, twist the engine slightly. 3. Fasten the clamp securely with two screws.
7. Fuel WARNING • Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m (10ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. • The RedMax engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use.
7. Fuel again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture. 5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers. 6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification.
8. Operation The RedMax stick edgers are designed for edging lawn in gardens, parks, roadsides and so on. Before starting the engine, take the operating position and adjust the handle position and the wheel height as necessary. OP1 ■ ADJUSTING WHEEL HEIGHT 1. Loosen the wing nut and change the wheel height to obtain desired cutting depth. (OP1) (1) (1) Deep cut (2) Shallow cut (3) Wing nut (2) (3) 2. After adjusting the height, tighten the wing nut securely. Tightening Torque: 51~68in-lbs (6~8N.m.
8. Operation OP5 IMPORTANT • Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter failures. 6. Move the choke lever downward to open the choke. And restart engine. (OP3) 7. Allow the engine to warm up for a several minutes before starting operation. NOTE 1. When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the choke open. 2. Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel.
8. Operation ■ HOW TO USE WARNING OP8 1 Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head. Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes and face and cause serious personal injury. 2 Keep the blade guard and the mad guard attached in place at all times when the unit is operated. 3 Before starting a job, check the area and remove all obstacles and objects that could be thrown by the blade.
9. Maintenance Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control device and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual. WARNING • Always be sure to stop the engine before inspecting the stick edger for problems or performing maintenance. • Never alter the stick edger or take the engine apart. • When replacing parts, always be sure to use only RedMax products or products which have been certified by RedMax for use with the RedMax stick edger.
9. Maintenance WARNING • Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the machine. 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. 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.
