User manual
Before you start working with a new tool, the operator needs to familiarize themselves with the operating instructions attached to a particular gasoline or electric model. It will definitely include the following sections:
- A description of each part and the initial assembly of the trimmer;
- Safety precautions;
- First launch and product operation features;
- Running-in lawn mowers, which is carried out so that the parts are run in to each other;
- Terms and rules of the maintenance of the tool;
- Possible malfunctions and solutions.
Before starting work, check all components of the trimmer for integrity, wear safety glasses, protective clothing and noise canceling headphones.
When mowing, make sure that the engine does not overheat. The trimmer gearbox must be regularly lubricated with a special universal grease, this helps to reduce the friction of the contacting surfaces and prevents rapid wear of parts.
For a gas trimmer, use high-quality semi-synthetic two-stroke engine oil, which must be added to gasoline. The proportions of the fuel mixture can be found in the instruction manual.
Faults and repairs
The main malfunctions of the trimmer and how to solve them:
- If the air cleaning mechanism is clogged, it is necessary to close the damper, disconnect the locking device and remove the equipment cover. After this, you need to remove the filter mechanism and remove accumulated contaminants from its surface, blow through the system with air, and install all the elements in place. If the air filter is damaged, it should be replaced with a new one.
- If the engine stalls, it is recommended that you adjust the carburetor. To do this, start the engine, turn the screw adjusting device clockwise, remove excess fuel fluid, switch from idle to full speed for 2-3 seconds, and then adjust the internal cable to the required tension.
- If a fluid leak occurs, the fuel tank must be inspected for damage and defects. If this malfunction is detected, immediately stop using the equipment.
- If the spark plug is wet in the ignition system, set the correct gap between the spark plug electrodes and check the integrity of the spark plug insulation from the oil fluid. If damaged, the insulation coating must be replaced.
- With a low-quality cut of grass, you need to inspect the knives and check their sharpening. Replace worn parts as necessary.
- If the power unit does not start, it is necessary to check the presence of fuel fluid in the system, repair the short circuit in the circuit, and check the switch for defects.
- If the cutting element rotates at idle speed of the engine, it is recommended that the carburettor and the clutch spring be checked for damage.
