CLEANING

Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do

not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that

contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and

solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing

or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

STORAGE

• Never store the unit with fuel in the tank where fumes

may reach an open flame or spark.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing.

• Lock up the unit to prevent unauthorized use or damage.

• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.

• Store the unit out of the reach of children.

NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil

from the cylinder before attempting to start the

trimmer after storage.

4. Change the oil, referring to Changing the Oil.

Dispose of the old oil in accordance to Federal, State

and Local regulations.

LONG TERM STORAGE

Do not use gas that has been stored for more than 60

days. Dispose of the old gasoline in accordance to

Federal, State, and Local regulations.

cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the

oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
