This unit must never be operated with a faulty or missing spark arrester or muffler. Make sure the muffler
is well secured and in good condition. A worn or damaged muffler is a fire hazard and may also cause
hearing loss.
Spark Plug
Keep the spark plug and wire connections tight and clean.
Fasteners
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws (except carburetor adjusting screws) are tight.

Daily Maintenance

Prior to each work day, perform the following:
1. Remove dirt or debris from the engine (A).
Check air filter (B) and cooling fins (C) for
clogging and clean them as necessary.
2. Carefully remove any accumulation of dirt or
debris from the muffler (D) or the fuel tank
(E). Dirt build-up in these areas could cause
engine overheating, induce premature wear,
or create a fire hazard.
3. Check for loose or missing screws or
components. Make sure the cutting
attachment is securely fastened.
4. Check the entire unit for leaking fuel or
grease.
