ATTACHING THE STORAGE HANGER

To use the hanger cap, push in the button and place the
hanger cap over end of the lower end attachment shaft.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port may become blocked with carbon deposits.
If you notice a power loss with your gas powered tool, you
may need to remove these deposits to restore performance.
We highly recommend that only qualified service technicians
perform this service.
SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 25
hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of the prod-
uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depend-
ing on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest
service center to have the spark arrestor on your product
serviced.
