HOT RESTART
To start the engine that is already warmed up (hot restart), or if the ambient temperature exceeds 68°F(20°C):
1. Pump the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing through the fuel return line to the fuel tank. (Flowing
fuel should be almost clear, not foamy or full of bubbles.)
2. Turn the choke lever to the open position, and set the stop switch to the "START" (ON) position.
3. Leave the throttle trigger in the idle position and pull the starter grip.
If the engine fails to start after you follow the above procedures, contact an authorized MARUYAMA dealer.
TO STOP THE ENGINE:
1. Release the throttle trigger.
2. Slide the stop switch to "STOP" (OFF) position.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The carburetor has been carefully adjusted at the factory and should not
require any further adjustment. Only the idling speed can be adjusted by
turning the idle speed adjustment screw (see sketch). The correct speed
is 2400 - 2800 RPM (or just below the clutch engagement speed). Turning
the adjustment screw clockwise will increase the idle speed.
If further adjustment is necessary, please contact a local authorized
MARUYAMA dealer.
OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER
MARUYAMA brushcutters are designed and tested to cut nearly all grasses, thick weeds and brush. As you
continue to use the equipment, many tasks will become easier.
CAUTION-Adjust the debris shield to a position that does not make contact with the blade or trimming line,and
shields the operator from thrown debris.
CAUTION-Read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS concerning the proper use of the brushcutter on page(US-1).
CAUTION-Observe all warnings that appear on the brushcutter.
CAUTION-Use only the correct blade approved for the task and the machine.
CAUTION-Always use the Shoulder Harness when operating a brushcutter with a metal blade. The brushcutter
must be positioned to the right side of the operator when used with a metal blade.
CAUTION-Always make certain the blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction and that all holding and
fastening parts are correctly secured.
CAUTION-Remove the holding tool (ø6mm pin) before operating the equipment!
CAUTION-Do not continue to use a blade that is dull, damaged, or that vibrates during use. Whenever a cut-
ting blade becomes clogged with debris, immediately stop the machine and clean the blade.
CAUTION-When cutting heavy brush or small trees, use the proper method to avoid dangerous " KICK-BACK "
(see sketch).
