Lubricating the unit
Remove the cutting attachment, cutting attachment holder and

gearcase and press new grease into the gearcase until old
grease is pushed out. Use good quality lithium multi grease.
Pull the stopper knob and remove the flexible pipe from the en-
gine.
Pull the flexible shaft out from the flexible pipe and apply
grease on the flexible shaft evenly.
Put the flexible shaft back into the flexible pipe.
Loosen and remove the bolt from the outer tube and remove
the outer tube.
Wipe any extra grease from the outer tube and flexible pipe.
Make sure extra grease is completely wiped-off. Extra
grease may cause overheating.
Fuel Filter Maintenance
Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel filter from inside the fuel
tank. Remove and replace the filter element. Before reinstalling
the filter, inspect the condition of the fuel line. If damage or dete-
rioration are noted, the unit should be removed from service until
you can consult with an authorized servicing dealer.
Make sure you do not pierce the fuel line with the end of
the hooked wire. The line is delicate and can be damaged
easily.
