NOTICE

To prevent fuel gum deposits and corrosion in the

Trimmer’s carburetor and fuel system, it is highly

recommended to use a fuel additive / stabilizer formulated

for ethanol fuels. Follow the stabilizer manufacturer’s

instructions. Run the engine at least 5 minutes after adding

stabilizer.

Allow engine to cool and empty the fuel tank before

storing or transporting in vehicle. Use up remaining fuel

in the carburetor by starting the engine and letting it run

until it stops. Squeeze primer bulb several times to purge

fuel from the carburetor.

2. When not in use, store Trimmer indoors in a dry

location. Store Trimmer in a locked area out of the

reach of children.

3. Store unit and fuel in area where fuel vapors cannot

reach sparks or open flames from water heaters,

electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

4. When preparing the Trimmer for storage or when

Trimmer will not be used for 30 days or more:

a. Inspect and clean the Trimmer thoroughly.

b. Lightly oil all external metal surfaces.

c. Remove the spark plug, place a few drops of

2-cycle engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the recoil

starter several times to distribute the oil. Replace

the spark plug.

d. Inspect and clean air filter as required.
