STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor
area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined
area.
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure to be in the
starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 9). To avoid
serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position
while starting.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Mix gas with oil. See Oil and
Fuel Mixing Instructions.
2.
Fill the fuel tank with the
fuel/oil mixture.
NOTE:
There is no need to turn
the unit on. The On/Off
Control is in the ON ( I )
position at all times (Fig. 6).
3.
Fully press and release the
primer bulb 10 times, slowly.
Some amount of fuel should
be visible in the primer bulb
and fuel lines (Fig. 7). If fuel
can not be seen in the bulb,
press and release the bulb as
many times as it takes until
fuel can be seen in it.
4.
Flip the choke lever clockwise
until it clicks (Fig. 8).
5.
Crouch in the starting position
(Fig. 9). Do not squeeze the
throttle. Pull the starter rope
with a controlled motion until
the unit starts. Wait and allow
the unit to idle for 30 seconds.
6.
Squeeze and hold the throttle
control for 30 to 60 seconds to
allow the unit to warm up.
NOTE:
The unit uses the
INCREDI-PULL™ starting
system, which significantly
reduces the effort required
to start the engine. The
starter rope must be
pulled out far enough to
hear the engine attempt to
start. There is no need to
pull the rope briskly-- there
is no harsh resistance
when pulling. Be aware
that this starting method is
vastly different from (and
much easier than) what
you may be used to.
IF...
The engine does not start,
go back to step 3.
NOTE:
If the unit is hot and fails
to start within 3 pulls of
the starter rope, squeeze
the throttle control and
pull the starter rope until
the unit starts.
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Release the throttle control and allow the engine to cool down by idling.
2.
Press and hold On/Off Control in the OFF (O) position until engine
comes to a complete stop (Fig. 6).

HOLDING THE UNIT
WARNING:
to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.
Before operating the unit, stand in
the operating position (Fig. 10).
Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye
protection and proper clothing
• With a slightly-bent right arm,
the operator's hand is holding
the shaft grip
• The operator's left arm is
straight, the left hand holding
the D-handle
• The unit is at waist level
• The cutting head is parallel to
the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over
ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
WARNING:
assembly. Excessive line length will cause premature engine
failure and / or unit damage.
The Bump Head™ cutting head
allows the release of trimming line
without stopping the engine. To
release more line, lightly tap the
cutting head on the ground (Fig.
11) while operating the unit at high
speed.
NOTE:
Always keep the
trimming line fully
extended. Line release
becomes more difficult
when the cutting line
gets shorter.
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line
releases. A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the proper
length if any excess line is released.
For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. If
attempting a line release in tall grass, the engine may stall.
NOTE:
Do not rest the Bump Head™ on the ground while the unit is running.
