General Cleaning and
Tightening
POTENTIAL HAZARD
When engine is running, cutting head is
rotating and other parts are moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with rotating cutting head or other
moving parts could cause serious personal
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always turn off your Trimmer before you
clean or perform any maintenance on it.
The Toro String Trimmer will provide maximum
performance for many, many hours if it is maintained
properly. Good maintenance includes regular
checking of all fasteners for correct tightness, and
cleaning the entire machine.

Storage

For long-term storage of the String Trimmer:
1. Empty the fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage
container.
2. Pump the primer bulb on the carburetor until all
fuel is discharged through the clear fuel return
hose.
3. Run the engine to remove any fuel that may
remain in the carburetor.
4. Perform all regular maintenance procedures and
any needed repairs.
5. Remove the spark plug and squirt a very small
amount of oil into the cylinder (Fig. 37).
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Oil may squirt out of the spark plug
opening when you pull the starter handle.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Oil can cause eye injuries.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Protect your eyes and keep your face away
from the spark plug opening.
6. Pull the starter handle once.
7. Slowly pull the starter handle to bring the piston
to the top of the cylinder (TDC).
8. Reinstall the spark plug.
9. Store the String Trimmer in a dry place away
from excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
