Assembly & Operating Instructions
Stopping the Engine
Move the throttle lever back to the STOP position (Figure 13). Note that on Electric-Starting
Models the key does not stop the engine. The key has a pressure lock that prevents it from vibrating
loose during operation. If you wish to remove the key, push it in and then quickly and firmly pull it
out. If the key is difficult to remove, spray FLUID FILM
®
or a comparable lubricant into the key
hole.
Engaging the Trimmer Head
Bring the trimmer head control bar (Figure 13) toward you and grip it together with the handlebar.
Keep holding the trimmer head control bar to the handlebar. The cutting cords will now be rotating
and will continue to rotate until you release the trimmer head control bar.
Stopping the Cords from Spinning
Release the trimmer head control bar from the handlebar. The trimmer head will stop spinning while
the engine continues to run.
If the cutting cords keep spinning after the trimmer head control bar is released, you may need to
adjust the trimmer control cable. (See page 27.)
