WARNING!
Non-standard parts may not
operate properly with your unit and
may cause damage and lead to per-
sonal injury.
WARNING!
Before performing any
maintenance, repair or cleaning
work on the unit, make sure the
engine and cutting attachment are
completely stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire before performing
service or maintenance work.
Daily Maintenance
Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
Remove dirt or debris from the engine,
check the cooling fins and air cleaner for
clogging and clean them as necessary.

Carefully remove any accumulation of
dirt or debris from the muffler or the
fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these areas
could cause engine overheating, induce
premature wear, or create a fire hazard.
