100-hour Maintenance

Every 100 hours of operation, remove

and clean the mufﬂer.

WARNING!

Never operate this trimmer with

a damaged or missing muffler or spark

arrester! Operating with missing or damaged

exhaust components is a re hazard, and

can also damage your hearing!

Remove the spark plug boot.

With a 3 mm hex wrench remove the 1

mufﬂer cover and 3 engine cover screws

and the engine cover. See Figure 25.

With a Phillips type screwdriver remove

the 5 screws holding the spark arrester

screen and cover to the mufﬂer. See

Figure 25.

Remove the screen and clean it with a

stiff bristle brush.

With a 4 mm hex wrench remove the

3 mufﬂer bolts and the mufﬂer. See

Figure 25.

Inspect the cylinder exhaust port for any

carbon buildup.

Gently tap the mufﬂer on a wood sur-

Long Term Storage

Remove the spark plug and pour about

1/4 ounce of 2-cycle mixing oil into the

cylinder through the spark plug hole.

Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times

so oil will evenly coat the interior of the

engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

Before storing the unit, repair or replace

any worn or damaged parts.

Remove the air cleaner element from the

carburetor and clean it thoroughly with

soap and water. Let dry and reassemble

the element.

Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized with a

fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™, if oil

with fuel stabilizer is not used.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carburetor for

extended periods can cause hard

starting and could also lead to increased

service and maintenance cost.

Remove the remaining fuel from the fuel

lines and carburetor.

Prime the primer bulb until no more

fuel is passing through.

Start and run the engine until it stops

running.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine

will no longer start.
