TRANSPORTING
BEFORE LOADING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the trimmer on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and
exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Always turn the ignition switch to the STOP (O) position. Make sure
the fuel cap is securely tightened.
LOADING
The trimmer may be secured by suitable clamps, hangers or straps.
Secure the trimmer by at least two points along the frame pipe. Avoid
securing the trimmer by the engine, cutting head/gear case or handle
area. The trimmer should be secured in a horizontal position, with the
engine upright as shown.
Don't hang the trimmer by the gear case or cutting head, or they may
be damaged.
