cutting head before inserting new line.
Insert both ends of your line through the large holes in the side
of the cutting head (Fig. 27).
Push and/or pull the line so that the line is snug against the hub and
is fully extended through the positioning tunnels. (Fig. 28)
Correctly installed line will be the same length on both sides.
Make sure that when installing new line, that the line is as close
to even as possible. Any variation in lengths may cause the unit
to vibrate excessively. If this happens, stop the unit and make
sure the line is even.
7.
Repeat steps 4 thru 6 to install the second trimmer line.
NOTE:
Do not rest the Hassle-Free
TM
PLUS Cutting Head on the
ground while the unit is running.
Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement
with foreign matter
Normal line fatigue
Attempting
to cut thick, stalky weeds
Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
NOTE:
During normal use the trimming line may become worn
unevenly which may cause excessive vibrations in the unit.
If this becomes uncomfortable
or uncontrollable,
stop the
unit and replace the line. Refer to the Line Replacement
instructions
above.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
--
l
_
WARNI NG: To avoid serious
personal injury, always
turn
your unit off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.
The importance
of checking
and maintaining
the proper oil level in the
crankcase
cannot
be overemphasized.
Check oil before each use:
1.
Stop the engine and
allow oil to drain into the
crankcase.
2.
Place the unit on a flat,
level surface to get a
proper oil level reading.
3.
Keep dirt, grass clippings
and other debris out of
the engine. Clean the
area around the oil fill
plug before removing it.
4.
Remove the oil fill plug.
5.
Check the oil level. Oil
should be just to the
bottom of the threads of
the oil fill hole. (Fig. 30).
6.
If the level is low, add a
small amount of oil to the
oil fill hole and recheck
(Fig. 30). Repeat this
procedure until the oil
NOTE:

level reaches the bottom of the threads in the oil fill hole.
Do not overfill the unit.
Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug when
checking and changing the oil (Fig. 29).
CHANGING
THE OIL
--
i
_[_
AUTION:
Wear gloves to prevent injury when handling
the unit.
For a new engine, change the oil after the first 25 hours of
operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will
flow freely and carry away more impurities.
1.
Remove the oil fill plug.
2.
Pour the oil out of the oil fill
hole and into a container by
tipping the unit to the side
(Fig. 31). Allow ample time
for complete drainage.
3.
Wipe up any oil residue on
the unit and clean up any
oil that may have spilled.
Dispose of the oil
according to Federal, State
and local regulations.
4.
Refill the crankcase with
2.2 fl. oz. (60 ml) of SAE
--
Fill Line
30 SF, SG, SH oil.
NOTE:
Use the bottle and
spout saved from initial
use to measure the
correct amount of oil.
The top of the label on
the bottle measures approximately 3.04 ounces (90 ml) (Fig. 32).
Check the level (Fig. 25). If the level is low, add a small amount
of oil and recheck. Do not overfill.
5.
Replace the oil fill plug.
