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 agi-
tate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation
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 abnormally 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.
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 fu-
eling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that
time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gaso-
line 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 stick-
ing.
■ 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.

WARNING
WARNING
The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch
mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to ro-
tate as soon as the engine is started by putting the
throttle into the start position. When starting the en-
gine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear
area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that
neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into con-
tact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
The cutting head will start rotating upon the engine
starts.

ADJUSTING THROTTLE CABLE
• The normal play is 1 or 2 mm when measured at the
carburetor side end. Readjust with the cable adjuster
as required.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
• 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.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted
about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.

(1) Cable adjuster
ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your
left to the right.
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.
(1) Idle adjusting screw
1. When the engine tends to stop frequently at idling
mode, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
4. Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of
losing your balance or control of the unit.
2. When the cutting head keeps rotating after releasing
the trigger, turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather
than placing the full workload on the arm and hands.
NOTE
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.
• Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling speed.
CUTTING WORK (LINE HEAD USAGE)
WARNING
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.
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.
• 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.
2. Keep the cutting attachment guard in place at all
times when the unit is operated.

WARNING
• Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool
before performing any service to the machine.
Contact with moving cutting head or hot muffler
may result in a personal injury.
AIR FILTER
• 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.

SPARK PLUG
GEAR CASE
• 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
ZENOAH.
• The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose,
lithium-based grease in the gear case. Supply new
grease every 25 hours of use or more often depend-
ing on the job condition.
• Remove the bolt opposit to the grease nipple before
installing new grease to arrange for old grease to exit.
0.6~0.7 mm
• REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK BPMR7A.
INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
WARNING
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.
• 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.
150 ~ 220 kgf-cm
TIGHTENING TORQUE:
(14.7 ~ 21.6 N.m.)
•
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
that it is necessary to remove the engine cover
shown in (MA5) in order to be able to view the up-
per part of the cylinder.
MUFFLER
WARNING
IMPORTANT
• 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.
• 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.

1. For replacement line, use a diameter of
2.4 mm. The spool is capable for a line upto
6 m on the 4" head. Avoid using a larger line as it may
cut down the trimming performance.
6. While holding the spool against the housing, pull the
line ends to release them from the slot.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do not use metal reinforced line.
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the spool
housing to unhook the bottom cap.
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook on
the housing, press the cap against the housing until it
clicks.
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.
10. Storage
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.
