USE THE CORRECT PROPANE CANISTER

Always use Propane canisters or “Bottles” that are the

correct size. The 17 ounce or 16.4 ounce/465 g can -

isters that are approximately 3-7/8 inches (9.5 cm) in

diameter are the correct canisters (Fig. 8). Do not use

the smaller diameter canisters as they will not latch

securely to the unit and vibration may cause damage to

the trimmer and potentially result in a dangerous leak.

ATTACHING THE PROPANE CANISTER

2. If the propane canister to be installed has a protec -

tive plastic cap over the threaded end, remove it.

Make sure the canister clamp is in the un-latched

position.

REMOVING THE PROPANE CANISTER

WARNING:

1. Make sure the engine is off.

3. Remove the empty canister.

2. Un-latch the bottle clamp and push canister against the

guard exposing the propnae connector. Remove the

propane connector by turning it counterclockwise.

4. Dispose of empty propane canisters in accordance

to Federal, State and local Regulations.

3. Insert the threaded end of the propane canister into

the clamp as far as it will go (Fig. 9A). Insert the propane con-

nector onto the threaded end of the canister and screw it

onto threads clockwise (Fig. 9B). Screw it until snug.

Do not over tighten. It may be normal to hear or smell

a slight momentary leak of propane as the connector

is being screwed in. Make sure that the connector is

installed tight enough that any leakage stops. Hand

tight is sufficient. Slide canister back so all of fuel line

components are behind the guard and latch the canister

clamp.
