Note: Drain the oil when the Engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
Note: The Oil Fill on the 8.75 model is on opposite side from what is shown in
figure 40.
1. For convenience, place the machine on a wooden pallet or workbench.
2. Remove the Oil Cap/Dipstick and position a suitable oil receptacle beside
the Oil Fill Tube.
3. Make sure to securely tighten the Gas Fill Cap.
4. Using the handle of the TRIMMER/MOWER, tip the machine to drain the oil
out through the Oil Filler Tube into a suitable receptacle (Figure 40).
The Belt will stretch a little from use when new, then more over time. If the
Trimmer Head does not spin with the Trimmer Head Engage Bar engaged,
adjust the Trimmer Control Cable to increase Belt tension. The Adjuster is
located on the Control Cable itself.
1. Locate the Trimmer Head Cable along the left Handlebar. There is an In-
Line Adjuster on the Cable to change the tension (Figure 41).
2. You can take the slack out of the cable by holding the Hex Flat Sections of
the In-Line Adjuster and rotating the body of the In-Line Adjuster in the
clockwise direction as you look down on the cable. If the Cable is too tight,
you can loosen the Cable by twisting the adjuster in the opposite direction.
3. If the In-Line Adjuster Cable is adjusted all the way out and more adjustment
is needed then the Belt needs to be replaced.
