Fuel Safety
1. WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable
-Store fuel in a cool place in a container

-Only use a container that is specially
designed for mixing fuel.
-Your trimmer has a 2-stroke
engine which runs on fuel
of 1 part of oil to 25 parts of
petrol.
-Do not use standard 2-stroke mixture as
supplied by garages, neat petrol or multi
grade oil.
-Use a good quality 2-stroke oil or a quality
SAE 30 oil mixed with fresh REGULAR grade
unleaded petrol.
-Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refuelling.
-Wipe dirt and grass clippings from the fuel tank
filler cap to avoid getting dirt into the fuel tank.
-Add fuel BEFORE starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
-If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until petrol vapours have
dissipated.
-Never use stale fuel left from last season or
fuel which has been stored for long periods.
-Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
-Fuel should be stored in a cool place away
from naked flames.
-Your carburettor is pre-set. Normally no
further adjustment is required.
Preparation
1. Do not trim barefoot or in open sandals.
Always wear suitable clothing, gloves, and
stout shoes.
2. Make sure the area to be cut is clear of
sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris; they
could be thrown by the cutting line.
3. Before using always visually inspect to see
that cutting lines, disc bolts and disc
assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged cutting lines together with
their fixings in sets to preserve balance.
4. Replace faulty mufflers.

space where exhaust fumes (carbon
monoxide) can collect.

artificial light.
3. Avoid operating your trimmer in wet grass,
where feasible.
4. Take care in wet grass, you may lose your
footing.
5. On slopes, be extra careful of your footing
and wear non-slip footwear.
6. Exercise extreme caution when changing

7. Trimming on banks and slopes can be
dangerous. and you should use extreme
caution if using the trimmer in this manner.
Please see further important information below.

9. Never cut grass by pulling the trimmer
towards you.
10. Stop the engine before pushing the trimmer
across surfaces other than grass and when
transporting the trimmer to and from the
area to be mowed.
11. Do not overspeed the engine or alter
governor settings. Excessive speed is
dangerous and shortens trimmer life.
12. Always start the trimmer carefully with feet
well away from the cutting lines.
13. Do not tilt the trimmer when starting the
engine, except if the trimmer has to be tilted
for starting. In this case, do not tilt more
than absolutely necessary and lift only the
part which is away from the operator.
Always ensure that both hands are in the
operating position before returning the
appliance to the ground.
14. Never pick up or carry a trimmer while the
engine is running

care.
16. Do not attempt any maintenance on your
trimmer when the engine is hot.
17. Cutting disc continues to rotate after the
machine is switched off. Wait until all
machine components have completely
stopped before touching them.
18. Switch off the engine, wait
until the cutting disc has
stopped and disconnect the
spark plug lead:-
19. Switch off the engine, wait until the cutting
disc has stopped, close the air vent screw,
close the fuel tap and disconnect the spark
plug lead.
Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be
sure the trimmer is in safe working
condition.

cutting line, disc bolt, spacer and impeller
specified for this product.
4. Never store the trimmer with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an
open flame or spark.
5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
6. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine,
muffler and fuel storage area free of grass,
leaves or excessive grease.
7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this
should be done outdoors.
8. Be careful during adjustment of the
machine to prevent entrapment of the
fingers between moving parts and fixed
parts of the machine.
- before leaving the trimmer unattended
for any period;

- before checking, cleaning or working
on the trimmer;
- if you hit an object. Do not use your
trimmer until you are sure that the
entire trimmer is in a safe operating
condition;
- if the trimmer starts to vibrate
abnormally. Check immediately.
USE ON STEEP SLOPES
When operating the trimmer on banks or steep slopes it is important that the feet of the
operator remain firmly on level ground. Where it is not possible we recommend that the
operator use a rope kit specifically designed for this purpose. Any operator so doing must
be adequately trained in the operation of the trimmer in this mode. Further please note that
it is important that every operator carries out a risk assessment or any site before operation
commences. More details of how to use a rope kit or how to obtain one is available from the
Manufacturer or your local Distributor.

(GB) USE
If you do not intend to use your trimmer
for long periods it is advisable to follow
this procedure after use:-
1. Close the fuel tank air vent screw. (Fig. G)
2. The engine will begin to stop, tilt the trimmer
(Fig M).
3. After the engine has stopped move the
start/stop switch to the stop position. (Fig. K)
4. Disconnect the spark plug lead (Fig. X) and
close the fuel tap.
5. Remove all fuel from the fuel tank.
Cleaning
●Keep your trimmer clean - grass clippings
left in any of the air intakes, around the
engine or under the deck could become a
potential fire hazard.
●Do not clean with chemicals, including
petrol, or solvents - some can destroy
critical plastic parts.
1. Remove grass from under the deck with a
piece of wood or similar.
2. Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings
from around the engine and from all air intakes.
3. Remove the fan, See 'Height adjustment',
and clean with a soft brush.
4. Wipe over the surface of your trimmer with a
dry cloth.
Carrying your Trimmer
●Never carry a trimmer when it is running
Carry the trimmer at the point of balance with the
cutting system facing away from you (See Fig W).
Storing Your Trimmer
Store in a cool, dry, damp-proof and safe place.
Service your trimmer after the last cut of the year
as follows:-

(GB ) MAINTENANCE
Caring for your Trimmer
Cleaning the Air Filter
●Your Tecumseh engine is fitted with a turbo
filter, the maintenance for which is as follows:-
When the engine performance drops (e.g. difficult
starting or loss of revs) check the air cleaner.
1. Remove the two screws (Y4). Take off the
filter cover (Y1).
2. Remove the two filters (Y5) and (Y6).
Clean inside the filter cover thoroughly.
3. Shake or tap the thick filter (Y5) to remove
any dirt or dust.
4. Replace the thin filter (Y6) if it is contaminated
with dust. DO NOT OIL THE FILTERS.
5. Install the thick filter (Y5) in the filter cover
(Y1). Place the thin filter (Y6) on top. DO
NOT CREASE THE FILTERS.
6. Clean the filter body (Y7) with a small
brush. Replace the filter cover (Y1) and
the two screws (Y4).
7. DO NOT REMOVE the cap (Y2) or screws
(Y3) unless there is visual evidence of
grass or dirt.

●●Never run the engine without a filter or with a
dirty filter. This will greatly reduce engine
efficiency and lead to engine damage.
At the end of the Trimming Season.
1. Allow the engine to cool. Drain the fuel tank (Fuel
left in the engine becomes stale and causes
difficult starting).
2. Remove the spark plug lead and spark plug
(See Fig X). Pour one teaspoon (5ml) of oil
through the spark plug hole. Pull the starting
handle 2 or 3 times. This will distribute oil on
the internal surfaces of the engine. Inspect,
clean and replace the spark plug. If a new
spark plug is required contact your local
approved Flymo Service Centre/Dealer.
Do not re-connect the spark plug lead.
3. Clean the air filter. See 'Cleaning the Air
Filter'.
4. Renew the cutting disc if it is cracked, damaged
or bent. Renew the disc bolt if necessary. See
'Height Adjustment' for complete
instructions.
5. Use only genuine Flymo parts and accessories
specified for this product.
6. Clean your trimmer thoroughly. See 'Cleaning'.
7. Your local approved Flymo/Partner Service
Centre/Dealer will carry out any service or
repairs required.
8. Store your trimmer in a cool, dry, damp-proof
and safe place.
●Switch off the engine, wait until the cutting disc
has stopped and disconnect the spark plug lead
BEFORE attempting any maintenance or
adjustment.
