FUEL CAP

The fuel cap (45) 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, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.
Replace fuel cap if required.
SPARKING PLUG
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0.63 mm
electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace
annually.
STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved
■
for fuel. 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.
Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe
■
storage and handling of fuel. Excess fuel should be
used up in other 2-stroke engine powered equipment.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.
