• Use high-quality 2-stroke engine oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines.
• Mix the fuel and oil thoroughly in the provided oil pot or an approved fuel container before pouring into the trimmer's fuel tank.
• Fill the fuel tank (capacity: 1000ml / 33.8 Oz) carefully, avoiding spills. Secure the fuel cap tightly.

4. Operating Instructions

Ensure you have read and understood all safety warnings before operating the trimmer.

4.1. Starting the Engine:

1. Place the trimmer on a flat, stable surface.
2. Set the choke lever to the 'CLOSED' or 'START' position.
3. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible in the return line.
4. Hold the trimmer firmly and pull the starter cord with a brisk, continuous motion until the engine fires (usually 1-3 pulls).
5. Once the engine fires, move the choke lever to the 'OPEN' or 'RUN' position.
6. Pull the starter cord again until the engine starts and runs smoothly.
7. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before engaging the throttle.

4.2. Operating the Trimmer:

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your trimmer. Always ensure the engine is off and cool before performing any maintenance.

5.1. After Each Use:

• Clean the exterior of the trimmer with a damp cloth. Remove any grass, dirt, or debris from the engine cooling fins and cutting head.
• Inspect the cutting head for wear or damage. Replace string trimmer line as needed. Sharpen or replace blades if dull or damaged.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for tightness.

5.2. Air Filter:

Clean the air filter regularly (every 5-10 hours of operation, or more frequently in dusty conditions). A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption.

1. Remove the air filter cover.
2. Carefully remove the air filter element.
3. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely. Alternatively, tap out loose dirt.
4. Reinstall the dry air filter and cover.

5.3. Spark Plug:

Inspect the spark plug every 25 hours of operation. Clean or replace if necessary.

• Remove the spark plug cap and then the spark plug using a spark plug wrench.
• Check for carbon buildup or electrode wear. Clean with a wire brush or replace if heavily fouled or worn.
• Ensure the correct spark plug gap (refer to engine specifications if available).
• Reinstall the spark plug and cap, tightening securely but not overtightening.

5.4. Fuel System:

Periodically check fuel lines and connections for cracks or leaks. Replace any damaged components immediately. For long-term storage, drain the fuel tank or use a fuel stabilizer.
