[. . . ] NOTE: The cutter blade-fastening nut (with coned disc spring) is a consumable part. If there appears any wear or deformation on the coned disc spring, replace the nut. Mounting of nylon cutting head ­ The clamp washer (3), cup (2), and nut (1) are not necessary for mounting the nylon cutting head. The nylon head should go on top of the receiver washer (4). ­ Insert the hex wrench through the hole in the gear case and rotate the receiver washer (4) until it is locked with the hex wrench. (4) ­ Then screw the nylon cutting head onto the shaft by turning it counter-clockwise. ­ Remove the hex wrench. Tighten Loosen Hex wrench ­ Make sure that the blade is the left way up. Rotation 13 BEFORE START OF OPERATION Inspection and Refill of Engine Oil ­ Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down. ­ While keeping the engine level, remove the oil gauge, and confirm that the oil is filled within the upper and lower limit marks. When the oil is in short in such a way that the oil gauge touches the oil only by its tip, in particular with the oil gauge remaining inserted in the crankcase without screwing-in (Fig. ­ For reference, the oil refill time is about 15 h (refill frequency: 15 times). ­ If the oil changes in color or mixes with dirt, replace it with new one. (For the interval and method of replacement, refer to P. 20) Recommended oil: SAE 10W-30 oil of API Classification, Class SF or higher (4-stroke engine for automobile) Oil volume: Approx. 0. 1 L Note: If the engine is not kept upright, oil may go into around the engine, and may be refilled excessively. If the oil is filled above the limit, the oil may be contaminated or may catch fire with white. Point 1 in Replacement of Oil : "Oil Gauge" ­ Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil gauge. ­ Keep the detached oil gauge free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil gauge may cause irregular oil circulation or wear on the engine parts, which will result in troubles. ­ As an example to keep the oil gauge clean, it is recommended to insert the oil gauge on its knob side into the engine cover, as shown in Fig. 3. Upper limit of oil level (Lower part of oil refill port threaded part) If oil adheres around this tip, refill new oil. Oil gauge Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 (1) Keep the engine level, and detach the oil gauge. (2) Fill oil up to the edge of the oil refill port. Feed oil with the lubricant refill container. (3) Securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening may cause oil leakage. Point 2 in Replacement of Oil: "If oil spills out" ­ If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will contaminate the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation. 14 REFUELING Handling of Fuel It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently ventilated room or in the open air. [. . . ] ­ During storage, keep the rod horizontal or keep the machine upright with the blade edge oriented upward. (In this case, pay full attention to prevent the machine from falling. ) Never store the machine with the cutter blade edge oriented downward. ­ Keep the drained fuel in a special container in a well-ventilated shade. Attention after long-time storage ­ Before startup after long-time shutdown, be sure to replace oil (refer to P 20). Oil will deteriorate while the machine is kept out of operation.
