Installation Instructions

Safety First: Before beginning any maintenance, ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection.

1. Drain Fuel: Empty the fuel tank completely into an approved fuel container.
2. Remove Old Components:
   • Carefully disconnect the old fuel lines from the carburetor and the fuel tank. Note which line goes to which port.
   • Remove the old fuel filter from the end of the fuel line inside the tank.
   • Pry out the old primer bulb from its housing.
3. Install New Primer Bulb:
   • Press the new primer bulb firmly into its designated opening until it snaps securely into place.
4. Install New Fuel Lines and Filters:
   • Attach one new fuel filter to the end of one of the new fuel lines.
   • Feed the fuel line with the filter into the fuel tank, ensuring the filter rests at the bottom of the tank.
   • Connect the other end of this fuel line to the appropriate port on the carburetor (typically the fuel intake line).
   • Connect the second new fuel line to the return port on the carburetor or primer bulb, and feed the other end into the fuel tank. Ensure it is not obstructed.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and free from leaks.
6. Refill Fuel: Add fresh, properly mixed fuel to the tank.
7. Prime System: Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel is visible and flows freely, and the bulb feels firm.
8. Reconnect Spark Plug: Reconnect the spark plug wire.

Operating Considerations

After installing the new fuel system components, ensure proper operation by:

• Priming: Always prime the engine thoroughly before attempting to start, as described in step 7 of the installation.
• Fuel Mixture: Use the correct fuel-to-oil mixture specified by your Ryobi trimmer's manufacturer. Incorrect mixtures can damage the engine and fuel system components.
• Storage: For extended storage, drain the fuel tank or use a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation and gumming of the fuel system.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your fuel system components can extend the life of your string trimmer:

• Fuel Filter Replacement: Inspect fuel filters periodically. Replace them annually or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions or if fuel flow appears restricted.
• Fuel Line Inspection: Check fuel lines for cracks, hardening, or leaks regularly. Replace them if any damage is observed.
• Primer Bulb Condition: Examine the primer bulb for cracks or loss of elasticity. A damaged primer bulb will not effectively prime the engine.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing the replacement kit, consider the following:

• Engine Not Starting:
  • Ensure the primer bulb is fully primed and firm.
  • Check for proper fuel line connections; incorrect routing can prevent fuel delivery.
  • Verify the fuel filter is not clogged.
• Fuel Leaks:
  • Inspect all fuel line connections for tightness.
  • Ensure the primer bulb is seated correctly and not cracked.
• Engine Runs Poorly:
  • A partially clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, leading to poor engine performance.
  • Ensure the fuel lines are not kinked or pinched.

If problems persist, consult your string trimmer's original service manual or a qualified technician.
