Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a
fuel stabilizer is added.

Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.

Operation With Blades

bar or U-handle, and harness can result in serious personal injury. Follow installation instructions.

DO NOT INSTALL BLADES ON GT (CURVED SHAFT) MODEL TRIMMERS.

• Arbor Diameter of Upper Blade Plate must match arbor diameter of blades.

• New cotter pin required each time blade is installed.

• Brush cutters over 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) dry weight (weight w/o fuel) require a double shoulder harness.

Note: The Barrier Bar is used to restrict rearward movement of the unit. The Barrier Bar is NOT A HANDLE

and should not be gripped when using or carrying the unit.
