damage the engine or contaminate the fuel system.

After Each Use
• You must remove grass and mud from the machine to prevent it from drying. This will cause
problems the next time the machine is used.
• Wipe the machine down with a damp cloth.
• For larger build ups of debris, use a scraper or similar product.
• Dry the machine completely to prevent rust from forming.
• Make sure not to drip petrol onto the plastic parts to prevent damaging them and remove all
traces of spilt petrol immediately. The warranty will not cover damage to plastic parts caused by
petrol.
• Remove the trimmer head from the trimmer axle to remove wedged grass etc from the rotor
shaft.
Regularly
• Paint on internal chassis parts may start to flake over time due to abrasive action of cut grass. If
this happens, you should touch-up with rust-proof paint to prevent rusting that could corrode the
metal. You can also use a light oil or silicone spray to prevent rust.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
