Troubleshooting; Trimmer Maintenance - Swisher Trim-N-Mow Plus Owner's Manual

If engine will not start, remove and check air filter to make sure filter and
•
carburetor are clean.
• Do not lift the trimmer head when trimming. Let the head rest lightly touching the ground.
• Keep an eye on the length of the trimmer line. As the line gets shorter they become less effective
at cutting and will take longer to trim properly. Replace the line as necessary (see Installing
Trimmer Line).
• Do not trim wet grass.
• Use caution when trimming slopes.
• Use the proper length of line. Using a line too long for the unit will cause stalling and
unacceptable operation.
Make sure your trimmer is in safe working condition by keeping the following guidelines in mind every time you
use your trimmer.
•
Keep trimmer in good operating condition and keep all guards and shields in place. DO NOT operate this
trimmer if any of the shields and guards are missing.
•
Check all fasteners for secure fit to keep equipment in safe working order. Make adjustments as necessary.

To reduce fire hazards, keep engine free of grass, leaves or excessive grease.
•
DO NOT operate trimmer with a damaged or missing muffler. DO NOT tamper with exhaust system; this may
cause a fire hazard.
•
DO NOT operate engine if air cleaner or the cover over the carburetor air intake is missing. Removal of these
parts could create a fire hazard.
•
Before cleaning, making adjustments or repairing the trimmer, STOP engine, disconnect spark plug wire and
allow engine to cool.
•
Handle gasoline with care. DO NOT smoke or use open flame near gasoline. Use only approved gasoline
containers. Never fuel or run trimmer in poorly ventilated areas, such as a garage or utility building.
•
Always replace fuel tank cap. Be sure to clean up any spilled gasoline.
•
Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine; severe injury or damage may result.
