contact with any obstacle when
the engine starts.
THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of
15 m (50 ft) of the person using
the product should be considered
a hazardous area into which no
one should enter. If necessary,
yellow warning rope, warning
signs should be placed around
the perimeter of the area. When
work is to be performed simulta-
neously by two or more persons,
care should also be taken to con-
stantly look around or otherwise
check for the presence and loca-
tions of other people working so
as to maintain a distance between
each person sufficient to ensure
safety.
WARNING
Never place the throttle into the
high-speed position when starting
the engine.
3. After starting the engine, check
to make sure that the cutting at-
tachment stops moving when the
throttle is moved fully back to its
original position. If it continues to
move even after the throttle has
been moved fully back, turn off
the engine and take the unit to
your authorized ZENOAH ser-
vicing dealer for repair.
2. Check the condition of working
area to avoid any accident by hit-
ting hidden obstacles such as
stumps, stones, cans, or broken
glass.

the manufacturer. And use only for
tasks explained in the manual.
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before begin-
ning work.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both
hands using your whole hand.
Place your feet slightly apart
(slightly further apart than the
width of your shoulders) so that
your weight is distributed evenly
across both legs, and always be
sure to maintain a steady, even
posture while working.
2. Maintain the speed of the engine
at the level required to perform
cutting work, and never raise the
speed of the engine above the
level necessary.
3. Inspect the entire unit for loose
fasteners and fuel leakage. Make
sure that the cutting attachment
is properly installed and securely

7. Fuel
■ FUEL
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
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.
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 refuel-
ing the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fuel-
ing and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
G
B
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.
■ 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 Zenoah engines are lubricated by oil specially
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use.
If 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 10 feet (3 meters) away from the
fueling 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.
■ FOR YOUR 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 intro-
duction 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
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine tem-
perature may rise and an engine problem such as
piston seizing may consequently occur.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.
NOTE
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health
and the environment.
As for details of quality assurance, read the description
in the section Limited Warranty carefully. Moreover, nor-
mal wear and change in product with no functional influ-
ence 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.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
IMPORTANT
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.

QUICK TIP
• When refilling the tank or resting, it is often a good
idea to use the time to oil the cutting blades.
• If a gap exists between the upper and lower blades,
follow the procedure below to adjust them so that they
fit more closely together.
• If the blades become so worn down that it is no longer
possible to eliminate the gap between them, you
should contact the authorized ZENOAH servicing
dealer from which you purchased your ZENOAH trim-
mer to have the blades resharpened or replaced.
• Loosen lock nut (A) as shown in the diagram.
2. Tighten screw (B) fully, and then turn one-third to one-
half of a rotation backward.
3. While holding onto the screw to keep it in position,
tighten the lock nut.
GEAR CASE
• The inside of the gear case should be lubricant using
ZENOAH-approved lubricant after every 25 hours of
use.
4 .Check to make sure that the flat washer (C) is loose
enough so that it may be turned by pressing on it with
a finger.
• When adding lubricant, use a grease gun to insert
lubricant into the three grease nipples located on the
gear case.
TYPE OF LUBRICANT TO BE USED
Always be sure to use #2 lithium heat-resistant lubricant.
(1) Upper blade
(2) Lower blade
NOTE
• Screwing in the screw too tightly may make it impos-
sible for the blades to move. Conversely, not screw-
ing in the screw tightly enough may make the blades
of the trimmer feel dull and cause leaves and branches
to become caught in the blades of the trimmer.

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.
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.
•
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 machine.
Failing to do so could cause the muffler to become
overheated, and that this 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.
•
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 machine. Note that
it is necessary to remove the engine cover shown
in (A) in order to be able to view the upper part of
the cylinder.
10. Storage
• Aged fuel is one of major causes of engine starting
failure. 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.
IMPORTANT
• 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 ma-
chine.
• Oil the blades.
