Gardener’s Choice Grass Trimmer User Guide

Starting your Grass Trimmer. 

Before operating your Grass Trimmer, mix 25 parts of regular unleaded petrol to 1 part 
2-stroke oil (25:1). Do not overfi ll the tank as this can risk fuel spilling on hot parts when 
in use.

Slide the ignition switch forward away 
from the STOP position 

(Figure 8).

Press primer bulb three or four times 
until a fl ow of fuel is visible inside the 
fuel line 

(Figure 9)

Set choke lever into       closed position 
if starting from cold

 (Figure 10).

Pull the starter cord until the Grass 
Trimmer starts (or sounds like it wants 
to start) then return choke to       open 
position

.

After it starts, allow the engine to warm 
up for at least 20 to 30 seconds.

For warm restarts, do not prime, just 
pull the cord and it will start after one or
more pulls.

To stop the engine, simply move 
the ignition switch back to the 

STOP

 position 

(Figure 11).
