WARNING
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be
replaced immediately.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a
check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine
performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap
is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or the filter
clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

MAINTENANCE
STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
■
petrol. Run engine until it stops.
Clean all foreign material from the trimmer. Store it in
■
a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
Cover the blade with the blade protector before
■
storing the unit, or during transportation.
Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe
■
storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be
used up in other 2-cycle engine-powered equipment.
SOLUTION
1. Check spark. Remove sparking plug. Reattach the
sparking plug cap and lay sparking plug on metal
cylinder. Pull the starter rope and watch for spark
at sparking plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat
test with new sparking plug.
2. Push primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb
does not fill, primary fuel delivery system is
blocked. Contact a service dealer. If primer bulb
fills, engine may be flooded (see next item).
3. Remove sparking plug, turn trimmer so sparking
plug hole is aimed at the ground.
Make sure lever is in the "WARM START" position
and pull starter cord 10 to 14 times. This will clear
excess fuel from engine. Clean and reinstall
sparking plug. With the throttle trigger fully
depressed, pull starter cord three times with lever at
"WARM START" position. If engine does not start,
move choke lever to "COLD START" and follow
normal starting instructions in "STARTING AND
STOPPING" section. If engine still fails to start,
repeat procedure with a new sparking plug.
4. Contact a service dealer.
Release throttle trigger. Refer to "Starting and
Stopping" earlier in this manual.
Turn "L" needle counterclockwise 1/16 turn. If "L" low
needle (61) cannot be turned counterclockwise, do not
force plastic limiter caps. Contact a service agent
(Fig. 25).
