Before Operation POTENTIAL HAZARD • Gasoline contains gasses that can build up pressure inside a gas tank. Oil and Fuel WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing gas cap. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury POTENTIAL HAZARD • In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.
Recommended Fuel Type Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, with an octane rating of 85 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that can be used in 30 days. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or recommended.

Idle Speed Adjustment POTENTIAL HAZARD • Engine must be running to make idle speed carburetor adjustments. • When engine is running, the blades may move. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Contact with blades or other moving parts could cause serious personal injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Keep hands, feet and clothing away from blades and other moving parts. • Keep all bystanders and pets away from unit while making carburetor adjustments.
• Replace after every 100 hours of operation. 7. Make sure that the fuel filter is not stuck in a corner of the tank, and that the fuel hose is not doubled over (kinked) before refueling. Air Filter Cleaning 1. Unsnap the air filter cover (Fig. 9). 2. Remove the foam filter (Fig. 9). 3. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Let the filter completely dry. 4. Apply a light coat of SAE 30 motor oil to the foam filter and squeeze out all excess oil. 5.
Cylinder Cooling Fins Maintenance Interval • The spark arrester should be inspected and cleaned after every 25 hours of use. The cylinder cooling fins should be cleaned after every 25 hours of operation, or once a week, whichever comes first. • Replace the screen if it cannot be thoroughly cleaned, or if it is damaged. Air must flow freely around and through the cylinder cooling fins to prevent engine overheating.
If the Hedge Trimmer is used under severe conditions such as high ambient temperatures (above 75_F/23_C), or for extended periods of continuous operation, the gearcase and blades must be lubricated every two hours. 2. Pump the primer bulb on the carburetor until all fuel is discharged through the clear fuel return hose. 3. Run the engine to remove any fuel that may remain in the carburetor. • Lubricate the gearcase at the grease fitting with a good quality #2 lithium-base grease (Fig. 15). 4.
