OIL INFORMATION
RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE 2. Place the unit on a level surface (fig.6).
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase
is extremely important. Check the oil before each use
and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil,
or using dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and
failure. Use a high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight oil of API
(American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
ADDING OIL TO THE CRANKCASE
INITIAL USE
NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid
damage to the unit, put oil in the crankcase before you
attempt to start the unit.

case; it is important and cannot be overemphasized.
Check the oil before each use and change as
needed. See Changing the Oil (p.13).

2. Turn switch to ON position (Fig. 13).
NOTE: If your unit is equipped with a spring loaded type
ON/OFF switch, it will always remain in the ON position.
3. Place trimmer firmly on the ground or a very sturdy

smoothly and briskly. The engine should start.
Engine should start with 3-5 pulls. Once warm, the
engine should start on the first pull.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
String advance is controlled by tapping the string head
on grass while running engine at full throttle.
1. Run engine at full throttle.
2. Tap the knob on ground to advance string. The string
advances each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold
the knob on the ground.
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
• For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.
• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip
of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls.
Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting ef -
ficiency and may overload the engine.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from
