Do not store in an enclosure where fuel fumes may accumulate or reach an open flame or spark. Serious
personal injury may result.
11-6. Adjusting the throttle cable
Adjust the throttle cable length with the adjusting nut. If the Nylon cutting head rotates even after you have released your hand from the throttle
trigger to idle the engine, adjust the throttle cable length. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting nut to adjust the cable length. Turn the
adjusting nut clockwise to lengthen the throttle and counterclockwise to shorten it. Tighten the lock nut after adjustment.

11-8.Storing
When shutting down your trimmer for a prolonged period of time (30 days or longer), store it properly, so that it will operate normally when you
need it. The Trimmer may not start smoothly if stored improperly.
1.
Store the unit in a dry dust free place, out of the reach of children.
2.
Place the stop switch in the “OFF” position.
3.
Remove any accumulation of grease, oil, dirt and debris from the exterior of the unit.
4.
Perform all periodic lubrication and services that are required.
11-9. Storage for engine
1.
Drain
the fuel tank
completely
and pull the recoil starter handle several times to remove fuel from the carburetor.
2.
Remove the spark plug and pour 7cc (1/4 oz) of fresh, clean, two–stroke engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
A.
Place a clean cloth over the spark plug hole.
B.
Pull the recoil starter handle 2-3 times to distribute the oil inside the engine.
C.
Observe the piston location through the spark plug hole. Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until the piston reaches the top of its
travel and leave it there.
3.
Install the spark plug (do not connect spark plug cable).
4.
Attach the cover to the cutting blades during storage.
CAUTION
The engine has been adjusted before shipment. In the case of engine trouble, Contact your service
dealer because the engine trouble is not caused by a faulty carburetor alone. An engine that is not
adjusted properly will damage not only the carburetor but also the engine itself.
IMPORTANT
Some tree sap and resins are corrosive. Thoroughly wash the blades after each use, then coat metal parts with light oil.
