Equipment maintenance is critical for keeping your Equipment running smoothly. Follow these steps for a complete tune-up: clean or replace the air filter every 5 hours, replace the spark plug annually, and swap the fuel filter every 1–2 years. Always use fresh 2-cycle mixed gas (stabilized if stored) unless instructed, and replace the trimmer line or head after 50 hours of use.
Daily & Weekly Checks
- Inspect the Shield & Handle: Before you begin, ensure the safety guard is tightly secured and the handle is adjusted properly.
- Clean Debris: Wipe away grass clippings and dirt from the cutting head, driveshaft, and around the engine casing after every use.
- Line Check: If the line breaks or runs out, reload the spool following the manufacturer's specific winding direction arrows.
Engine Tune-Up (Every 25 Hours / Yearly)
- Air Filter: Remove the air filter cover. If it is foam, wash it in warm, soapy water, dry it completely, and lightly coat it with a few drops of lightweight oil before reinstalling.
- Spark Plug: Remove the plug boot, unthread the spark plug with a socket wrench, and inspect it for heavy carbon buildup. Clean it with a wire brush or install a new, correctly gapped plug.
- Fuel System: If the engine bogs down, use a wire hook to pull the fuel filter out of the gas tank and replace it.
- Spark Arrestor: Remove the cover over your muffler, pull out the metal mesh screen, and clean off any carbon buildup using a brass wire brush.
Long-Term Storage
- If you are putting your trimmer away for the winter, always drain the fuel tank completely. Start the engine and let it run until it dies to clear any remaining gasoline from the carburetor and fuel lines, which prevents gum and varnish from ruining your engine.
