■ MUFFLER
• Inspect periodically, the muffler for
loose fasteners, any damage or
corrosion. If any sign of exhaust
leakage is found, stop using the
machine and have it repaired
immediately.
• Note that failing to do so may result
in the engine catching on fire.
■ SPARK ARRESTER
• The muffler is equipped with a spark
arrester to prevent red hot carbon from
flying out of the exhaust outlet.
Periodically inspect and clean as
necessary with a wire brush.
In the State of California it is required
by law (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code) to equip a
spark arrester when a gas powered tool
is used in any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved
land. (MA5)

■ GEAR CASE (MA6)
• The reduction gears are lubricated by
multipurpose, lithium-based grease in
the gear case. Supply new grease
every 25 hours of use or more often
depending on the job condition.
• Remove the side bolt in gear case
opposite of grease nipple before
installing new grease to arrange for old
grease to exit.
■ INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
• Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or
spark plugs with your bare hands
immediately after stopping the
engine. The engine can become
very hot when in operation, and
doing so could result in severe
burns.
• When checking the machine to make
sure that it is okay before using it,
check the area around the muffler
and remove any wood chips or
leaves which have attached
themselves to the brushcutter.
Failing to do so could cause the
muffler to become overheated, and

the spark plug and check that the plug
gap is in the correct range. For a
