CLEAN AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter decreases engine performance and
increases fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Always
clean after every 5 hours of operation.
1. Clean the air filter cover and the area around it to keep
dirt from falling into the carburetor chamber when the
cover is opened.
2. Open air filter cover by pushing button (see
illustration). Remove air filter.
a WARNING: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other
flammable solvent.
3. Wash the filter in soap and water.
4. Allow filter to dry.
5. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter: squeeze filter to
distribute oil.
6. Replace air filter and close cover.
LINE REPLACEMENT

Other sizes of line will not advance properly and will
result in improper cutting head function or can cause
serious injury.
a WARNING: Do not use other materials such as wire,
string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and
become a dangerous projectile that can cause serious
injury.
1. Press the tabs on the side of the trimmer head and
remove cover and spool.

For normal homeowner use, however, the muffler and
spark arresting screen will not require any service.
After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be
serviced or replaced by your authorized service dealer.
