The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor-
mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is
loosened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.
Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with .025 in.
(0,63 mm) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and
replace annually, or more frequently if necessary.

STORING THE TRIMMER (1 MONTH OR
LONGER)

1. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for

gasoline. Run engine until it stops.

2. Clean all foreign material from the trimmer. Store it in a

well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.

3. Abide by all Federal and local regulations for the safe

storage and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be
used up in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
