1. Place the powerhead/lower tube

assembly and the upper tube

assembly on a clean, flat surface so

that both assemblies fit end to end.

The powerhead/lower tube

assembly should be facing up, and

the lower tube assembly should be

positioned with the locking hole in

the tube end facing up.

CAUTION!

Keep the open ends of the tubes

clean and free of debris!

3. Pull the upper tube assembly out of

the coupler.

2. Slip off the protective covers from

the ends of both tubes, and loosen

the coupler screw knob.

3. Insert the upper tube assembly into

the coupler, arrow on the upper

tube decal facing up, until the line

of the decal is flush with the end of

the coupler. Rock the upper tube

back and forth until you are sure

the latch snaps in place by the

coupler lock. See Figure 11.

4. When the two tube halves are

locked together, press down on the

spring-loaded latch protector and

tighten the coupler screw. See

ASSEMBLY

Prior to each work day, perform the

following:

■ Remove all dirt and debris from the

engine, check the cooling fins and

air cleaner for clogging, and clean

as necessary. See Figure 29.

Daily Maintenance

■ Carefully remove any accumulations

of dirt or debris from the muffler and

fuel tank. Check cooling air intake

area at base of crankcase. Remove

all debris. Dirt build-up in these areas

can lead to engine overheating, fire,

or premature wear.

WARNING!

Operating the engine without a

muffler or with a muffler that is

damaged or improperly installed

can increase engine noise suffi-

ciently to cause hearing loss.

Muffler

This unit must never be operated with a

faulty or missing spark arrestor 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 connec-

tions tight and clean.

WARNING!

Always wear gloves when working

around the cutter assembly.

■ Clean any debris or dirt from the

cutting attachment. Check the bar

and chain for damage or incorrect

adjustment.

■ Check for loose or missing screws or

components. Make sure the cutter

attachment is securely fastened.

■ Check the entire unit for leaking

fuel or grease.

■ Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws

(except carburetor idle speed

adjusting screws) are tight.
