User’s manual
Features of the use of electrical models
Electric trimmers are considered the most loyal to maintenance due to the power supply from the mains. It is advisable not to overheat the engine.
To do this, you must adhere to the correct operating mode: 20 minutes of operation, 20 minutes of a break. Before each season of operation, lubricate the gearbox.
Important! Do not use the trimmer in wet or rainy weather.
Major malfunctions and their elimination
The main malfunctions of the electric model:
- When turned on does not work. Check the contact in the plug connector, make sure that the power cable, switch and plug are working.
- The fishing line may get confused. Check all contact connections.
- During prolonged use, a nylon thread may stick together. Using an indicator screwdriver, check the contacts with the control handle.
Features of the use of gasoline models
Hoper trimmers use a mixture of gasoline and oil as fuel. To prepare the mixture, you need to take the ratio. 1 part of adapted engine oil and 25 parts of gasoline with an octane rating of at least 92. If you do not observe the proportions given, then the engine life will be significantly reduced.
Running the lawn mowing is not required, but at first the unit needs a gentle operating mode, therefore only half the power is used. For abundant lubrication of engine elements, the first two gas stations need to use oils 10% more than recommended during the preparation of the fuel mixture. Do not try to procure the fuel mixture with a reserve, as the fuel is aging and does not fulfill its purpose.
To extend the life of the motor, follow these guidelines:
- Use only high-quality gasoline with the obligatory addition of oil.
- Do not use the trimmer at high speeds without load.
- Use oils for 2-stroke engines only.
After 10 hours of operation, lawn mowers need:
- Check the condition of the muffler;
- Clean or replace the air filter;
- Check the clearance between the spark plug contacts. It should be 0.6-0.7 mm;
- Flush vent holes;
- Add oil to gearbox.
If a breakdown is detected, do not carry out an independent repair of the power unit. Contact a service center.
To reduce the load on the engine and prevent overheating after every 45 minutes of operation, a technical break is made for 10-15 minutes, while completely shutting down the motor.
