 If you hit a large object by accident, or if you block the cutting tool due to overloading or
having the cutter jammed with grass, you must stop the engine.
NOTE. All protective devices of the machine as well as protective
equipment must be maintained in good operation condition during the
period of use.
9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
9.1 Air filter
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency. Increase fuel consumption and
allow abrasive particles to pass into the engine. Remove the air filter as often as necessary to
maintain a clean condition.
 Remove filter cover by pressing in the sides and lifting it off.
 Light surface dust can readily be removed by tapping the filter.
 Heavy deposits should be washed out in suitable solvent.
9.2 Fuel filter
 Fuel tank is fitted with a filter.
 Filter is situated at the free end of fuel pipe and can be picked
out through fuel port with a piece of hooked wire or the like.
 Check the fuel filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter the
fuel tank. Clogged filter will cause difficulty when starting
engine or abnormalities in engine performance.
 When the filter is dirty, replace the filter.
 When the inside of the fuel tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by
rinsing the tank out with petrol.
9.3 Checking the Spark Plug
Check the spark plug every 10-15 hours of use.
1. Remove the spark plug cover.
2. Use the spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug, by
turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Clean and adjust the spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7mm.
4. Replace any damaged or visibly worn plug with a TORCH
L8RTC or equivalent spark plug.
5. Install the spark plug finger tight in the cylinder head, then
tighten it firmly with the spark plug wrench.
9.4 Storage and maintenance after use
 When you finish working, clean the petrol grass trimmer completely, making sure there is
no grass or dirt wrapped in the cutting tools.
 Be aware to not hit or cut the fuel tank if you put it onto the ground. Do not let the petrol
grass trimmer fall down to the floor or it may damage the machine.
 Store the petrol grass trimmer away from direct sunlight.
 Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the formation of mould.
