Attach the ergonomic handlebar to the main shaft. Ensure it is positioned comfortably and securely tightened with the provided fasteners. The handlebar should allow for a balanced grip and control.

3.3 Shaft Assembly (if applicable)

If your model has a split shaft, connect the two sections by aligning the arrows and pushing them together until the locking button engages. Secure with the locking knob.

Follow the specific instructions provided with each accessory for secure attachment. Ensure the cutting head is firmly seated and the retaining nut is tightened.

Mount the safety guard firmly above the cutting head. This guard is essential for protecting the operator from flying debris. Ensure it is correctly aligned and tightened.

3.6 Harness Adjustment

Attach the adjustable shoulder harness to the brushcutter. Adjust the straps to ensure the tool is balanced and comfortable to carry. The harness should distribute the weight evenly across your shoulders and back, reducing strain during operation.

3.7 Fuel Mixing

The GGT650X-9 uses a 2-stroke engine, requiring a specific mixture of unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine oil. Refer to the engine manual for the exact mixing ratio (typically 25:1 or 50:1, depending on the oil type). Use a clean, approved fuel container for mixing. Always mix fuel in a well-ventilated area, away from any ignition sources.

4.1 Fueling the Tank

• Securely tighten the fuel cap. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

4.2 Starting the Engine (Easy Start System)

1. Place the brushcutter on a flat, stable surface, ensuring the cutting head is clear of any obstructions.

8. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments at idle speed before engaging the throttle.

4.3 Operating the Brushcutter

• Maintain a stable stance and a firm, two-handed grip on the handlebar.
