CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep trimmer free of built-up grass and
trash. Clean the underside
of your
trimmer after each use.
_t,CAUTION:
Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark
p_ug.
• Turn trimmer on its side. Make sure air
filter and carburetor
are up. Clean the
underside
of your trimmer
by scraping
to remove build-up of grass and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating.
A clogged
engine runs
hotter and shortens
engine life.
• Keep finished
surfaces
and wheels
free of all gasoline,
oil,etc.
• We do not recommend
using a garden
hose to clean trimmer
unless the
electrical
system,
muffler, air filter and
carburetor
are covered to keep water
out. Water in engine can result in
shortened
engine
life.
