7. Fuel  
FUEL  
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at  
least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to  
agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agi-  
tation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be  
careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an  
increased danger of early piston seizing due to ab-  
normally lean mixture.  
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container  
to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers.  
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy  
identification.  
WARNING  
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking  
or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make  
sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before  
refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for  
fueling and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the  
fueling point before starting the engine.  
G
B
FUELING THE UNIT  
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a  
dustless place.  
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.  
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel  
spillage around the unit.  
• The Komatsu Zenoah engines are lubricated by oil  
specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline  
engine use. If Komatsu Zenoah oil is not available,  
use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled  
for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE  
OIL or ISO EGC GRADE).  
WARNING  
1. Select bare ground for fueling.  
2. Move at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the fuel-  
ing point before starting the engine.  
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time,  
be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in  
the container.  
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)  
mixed oil.  
FORYOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:  
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause  
severe damage to the internal engine parts very  
quickly.  
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/  
or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.  
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark  
plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring  
sticking.  
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO  
GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1  
<when using ZENOAH genuine oil>  
Exhaust emission are controlled by the funda-  
mental engine parameters and components (eq.,  
carburation, ignition timing and port timing) with-  
out addition of any major hardware or the introduc-  
tion of an inert material during combustion.  
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded  
gasoline.  
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a pe-  
riod of one month or more may clog the carburetor  
and result in the engine failing to operate properly.  
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of  
time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,  
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the  
composite fuel.  
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane  
number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).  
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than pre-  
scribed, there is a danger that the engine tempera-  
ture may rise and an engine problem such as piston  
seizing may consequently occur.  
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the  
contamination of the air for the sake of your health and  
the environment.  
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing  
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.  
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,  
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.  
As for details of quality assurance, read the descrip-  
tion in the section Limited Warranty carefully. More-  
over, normal wear and change in product with no  
functional influence are not covered by the warranty.  
Also, be careful that, if the usage in the instruction  
manual is not observed as to the mixed gasoline,  
etc. described therein, it may not be covered by the  
warranty.  
HOW TO MIX FUEL  
WARNING  
• Pay attention to agitation.  
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be  
mixed.  
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel  
container.  
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.

8. Operation  
CUTTING METHOD  
c. Be extra prepared for bounce if you must cut where  
you cannot see the blade making contact such as in  
areas of dense growth.  
d. Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade increase the  
chance of bounce.  
e. Avoid feeding the blade too rapidly. The blade can  
bounce away from material being cut if the blade is  
fed faster than its cutting capability.  
(a) Use the front left side cutting.  
(b) Guide the blade from your right to left with it tilted  
slightly to your left.  
(c) When mowing a wide area, start working from your  
left end to avoid interference of cut grass.  
(d) The blade may be seized by weeds if the engine  
speed is too low, or the blade cuts too deep into  
weeds. Adjust the engine speed and cutting depth  
according to the condition of object.  
f. Cut only from your right to your left.  
g. Keep your path of advance clear of material that has  
been cut and other debris.  
WARNING  
3. How you can maintain the best control:  
a. Keep a good, firm grip on the unit with both hands. A  
firm grip can help neutralize bounce. Keep your right  
and left hands completely around the respective  
handles.  
• If the grass or other object gets caught in the blade,  
or if the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the  
engine and check the whole unit. Change the blade if  
it has been damaged.  
Turn off the engine and make sure the blade has com-  
pletely stop before checking the blade, and remov-  
ing any object got caught in.  
b. Keep both feet spread apart in a comfortable stance  
and yet braced for the possibility that the unit could  
bounce. Do not overreach. Keep firm footing and  
balance.  
CUTTING WORK (LINE HEAD USAGE)  
WARNING  
1. Always wear eye protection such as safety  
goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head.  
Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes  
and face and cause serious personal injury.  
2. Keep the cutting attachment guard in place at all  
times when the unit is operated.  
WARNING  
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS  
CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE  
• Always remember that the TIP of the line does cut-  
ting. You will achieve better results by not crowding  
the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at  
its own pace.  
• Blade thrust can cause serious personal injury. Care-  
fully study this section. It is important that you under-  
stand what causes blade thrust, how you can reduce  
the chance of blade thrust and how you can remain  
in control of the unit if blade thrust does occur.  
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted  
about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.  
1. What causes blade thrust:  
• Blade thrust occur when the moving blade contacts  
an object that it cannot cut. This contact causes the  
blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move  
or ”bounce” away from the object that was hit. The  
operator can lose control of the unit and the blade  
can cause serious personal injury to the operator or  
any person nearby if the blade contacts any part of  
the body.  
2. How you can reduce the chance of blade  
thrust:  
a. Recognize that blade thrust can happen. By under-  
standing and knowing about bounce, you can help  
eliminate the element of surprise.  
b. Cut fibrous weeds and grass only. Do not let the blade  
contact materials it cannot cut such as hard, woody  
vines and brush or rocks, fences, metal, etc.  
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your  
left to the right.

8. Operation  
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.  
The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material  
being cut. Heavy growth will require slower action than  
will light growth.  
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH  
Your brush cutter is equipped with a semi- auto type  
nylon line head that allows the operator to advance  
the line without stopping the engine. When the line  
becomes short, lightly tap the head on the ground  
while running the engine at full throttle.  
G
B
4. Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of  
losing your balance or control of the unit.  
• Each time the head is bumped, the line advances  
about 25 mm. For better effect, tap the head on bear  
ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick, tall grass  
as the engine may stall by overload.  
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather  
than placing the full workload on the arm and hands.  
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry,  
long-stem weeds from wrapping around the head  
shaft. Such materials can stall the head and cause  
the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the clutch  
system if repeated frequently.

REFILLING TRIMMING LINE  
WARNING  
1. For replacement line, use a diameter of 2.4mm(.095in).  
The spool is capable for a line upto 6m(20ft) on the  
10cm(4”) head. Avoid using a larger line as it may cut  
down the trimming performance.  
Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool  
before performing any service to the machine. Con-  
tact with moving cutting head or hot muffler may  
result in a personal injury.  
WARNING  
AIR FILTER  
For safety reasons, do not use metalreinforced line.  
• The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine perfor-  
mance. Check and clean the filter element in warm,  
soapy water as required. Dry completely before in-  
stalling. If the element is broken or shrunk, replace  
with a new one.  
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the spool  
housing to unhook the bottom cap.  
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line. Put one  
end of new line through the spool holes and pull it  
until the length is equal between each part of the line.  
4. Wind up the line in the correct direction as indicated  
on the spool.  
5. Hook each end of the line in the slot on the edge of  
the spool, and then put the ends through the eyelets  
on the housing. Make sure that the spring and the  
washers are in place.  
6. While holding the spool against the housing, pull the  
line ends to release them from the slot.  
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook on  
the housing, press the cap against the housing until it  
clicks.

SPARK PLUG  
• Starting failure and misfiring are often caused by a  
fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check  
that the plug gap is in the correct range. For a re-  
placement plug, use the correct type specified by  
KOMATSU ZENOAH.  
0.6-0.7 mm  
REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7H.  
IMPORTANT  
Note that using any spark plug other than those des-  
ignated may result in the engine failing to operate prop-  
erly or in the engine becoming overheated and dam-  
aged.  
To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is  
finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a  
socket wrench.

MUFFLER  
that it is necessary to remove the engine cover  
shown in in order to be able to view the upper part  
of the cylinder.  
WARNING  
• Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners,  
any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust leak-  
age is found, stop using the machine and have it re-  
paired immediately.  
Note that failing to do so may result in the engine  
catching on fire.  
IMPORTANT  
G
B
If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the  
intake air cooling vent or between the cylinder fins, it  
may cause the engine to overheat, and that in turn  
may cause mechanical failure on the part of the  
brushcutter.  
SPARK ARRESTER  
• The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to pre-  
vent red hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust out-  
let. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary with  
a wire brush.  
(1) Cylinder  
(2) Intake air cooling vent  
PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AFTER  
EVERY 100 HOURS OF USE  
(1)Spark arrester  
(1)  
1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent,  
and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe away any  
carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent and cylin-  
der exhaust port at the same time.  
ANGLE TRANSMISSION  
• The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose,  
lithium-based grease in the angle transmission. Sup-  
ply new grease every 25 hours of use or more often  
depending on the job condition.  
• Remove the bolt opposit to the grease nipple before  
installing new grease to arrange for old grease to exit.  
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.  
3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way  
in between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has,  
wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free gasoline.  
INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT  
WARNING  
10. Storage  
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 muf-  
fler to become overheated and that in turn could  
cause the engine to catch on fire. Always make  
sure that the muffler is clean and free of wood  
chips, leaves, and other waste before use.  
Aged fuel is one of major causes of engine starting fail-  
ure. Before storing the unit, empty the fuel tank and run  
the engine until it uses all the fuel left in the fuel line and  
the carburetor. Store the unit indoor taking necessary  
measures for rust prevention.  
11. Disposal  
When disposing your machine, fuel or oil for the machine,  
be sure to allow your local regulations.  
Check the intake air cooling vent and the area  
around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25  
hours of use for blockage, and remove any waste  
which has attached itself to the brushcutter. Note
