Häufig gestellte Fragen - TC 2010 TORO

Wie starte ich den Toro TC 2010 Kantenmäher bei kaltem Motor?

Legen Sie den Mäher flach hin. Stellen Sie den Zündschalter auf EIN. Schließen Sie den Choke. Drücken Sie den Primer-Ball, bis Kraftstoff in den Vergaser fließt. Ziehen Sie den Gashebel durch und halten Sie ihn. Ziehen Sie den Startergriff langsam, bis die Ratsche einrastet, dann mit kurzen, kräftigen Zügen. Nach dem Start den Choke öffnen.

Welches Kraftstoffgemisch wird benötigt?

Verwenden Sie ein Benzin-Öl-Gemisch im Verhältnis 40:1. Mischen Sie 3,2 Unzen (ca. 95 ml) Toro Easy Mix Zweitaktöl mit 1 Gallone (3,8 l) bleifreiem Normalbenzin. Kein Methanol oder mehr als 10% Ethanol verwenden.

Wie verlängere ich den Schneidfaden während der Arbeit?

Tippen Sie die Spule bei laufendem Motor und normaler Schnittdrehzahl fest auf den Boden. Der Faden wird automatisch nachgeführt und auf die richtige Länge gekürzt. Halten Sie die Drehzahl hoch.

Wie ersetze ich die Schneidfadenspule?

Schalten Sie den Motor aus und warten Sie, bis der Schneidkopf stillsteht. Drehen Sie den Mäher um. Stecken Sie einen mittelbreiten Schraubendreher in einen der Schlitze der Spulennabe und drehen Sie ihn eine Viertelumdrehung, um die Spule zu lösen. Wickeln Sie neuen Faden (0,080 Zoll) in Pfeilrichtung auf, maximal 38 Fuß. Setzen Sie die Spule wieder ein, bis sie einrastet.

Was tun bei übermäßigen Vibrationen?

Übermäßige Vibrationen deuten auf ein Problem hin. Stoppen Sie den Motor und überprüfen Sie den Schneidkopf auf Verunreinigungen oder falsch gewickelten Faden. Reinigen Sie den Kopf und wickeln Sie den Faden neu. Starten Sie den Motor erneut.

Wie reinige ich den Luftfilter?

Entfernen Sie die Abdeckung und den Schaumstofffilter. Waschen Sie ihn in Seifenwasser, trocknen Sie ihn gründlich. Tränken Sie ihn mit einem Teelöffel (5 ml) SAE 30-Öl und drücken Sie überschüssiges Öl aus. Setzen Sie den Filter wieder ein.

Wie lagere ich den Mäher über einen längeren Zeitraum?

Kraftstoff ablassen oder mit einem Stabilisator (z.B. Toro Preservit) versehen. Motor laufen lassen, bis der Tank leer ist. Zündkerze entfernen, einen Teelöffel Zweitaktöl einfüllen, Starter langsam durchziehen. Schneidkopf reinigen, Luftfilter säubern, alle Schrauben festziehen. Trocken und sauber lagern.

Welche Zündkerze wird verwendet?

Verwenden Sie eine Champion CJ8Y oder gleichwertige Zündkerze mit einem Elektrodenabstand von 0,6 mm (0,025 Zoll). Ziehen Sie sie mit 9 ft-lb (1,2 kg-m) fest.

Wie stelle ich den Vergaser ein?

Lassen Sie den Motor 3–5 Minuten warmlaufen. Leerlauf einstellen: Drehen Sie die Leerlaufschraube im Uhrzeigersinn zur Erhöhung, gegen den Uhrzeigersinn zur Senkung (Soll: 2600–3200 U/min). Der Schneidkopf sollte im Leerlauf nicht rotieren. Nur 1/8 Umdrehungsschritte vornehmen.

Gilt die Garantie auch bei gewerblicher Nutzung?

Für private Nutzung gilt eine Garantie von 2 Jahren. Bei gewerblicher Nutzung beträgt die Garantie nur 90 Tage. Reparaturen müssen von einem autorisierten Toro-Händler durchgeführt werden.

BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING

DANGER: Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke when handling fuel and keep fuel far away from open flames and sparks. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline. Store it in an approved container. Keep gasoline out of reach of children.

Refuel outdoors and only when engine is cold. Do not fill tank full. Fill tank to within 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) from top of tank, not into filler neck. This space is for expansion of fuel. Use funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Wipe up any spilled gas.

MIX GASOLINE AND OIL — 40:1 RATIO

1. APPROVED MIXTURE—For simplicity and best engine performance, mix the contents of one 3.2-ounce bottle of Toro "EASY MIX" Two-Cycle Oil with one gallon of fresh, unleaded regular gasoline. Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.

Toro Two-Cycle Oil is specially formulated to provide superior lubrication, make starting easy, and prolong engine life. If Toro Two-Cycle Oil is not available, mix one gallon of gasoline and 3.2 ounces of another high grade two-cycle oil that has the NMMA or BIA-TCW certification printed on the label.

NEVER USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL (i.e. SAE 30, 10W30 etc.), TWO-CYCLE OIL THAT IS NOT CERTIFIED NMMA/BIA-TCW, OR THE WRONG MIX RATIO BECAUSE THE ENGINE CAN BE DAMAGED, AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE TORO WARRANTY.

1. Mixing Gasoline and Oil—Pour correct amount of two cycle oil into an approved gasoline container and add a half gallon of gasoline. Install cap on gaso-

line container and shake the container to mix oil and gas thoroughly. Remove cap and add remaining amount of gasoline.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT.

DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE SUCH AS TORO'S PRESERVIT OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT. TORO'S PRESERVIT IS A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED CONDITIONER/STABILIZER. TORO DOES NOT RECOMMEND STABILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISOPROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF MACHINE.

NOTE: Do not mix gasoline and oil in the product fuel tank. Oil that is at room temperature mixes easier and more thoroughly than cold oil.

2. Primer bulb

3. Recoll starter

Note: Always pull starter rope straight up. Pulling rope at an angle will force it against the eyelet and cause it to fray and wear more quickly. Hold the starter handle when rope retracts. Never allow it to snap back from extended position. The rope can fray or snag and the starter can be damaged.

Warm Engine

1. Move ignition switch to "ON" position.
2. Move choke lever to OPEN position.
3. Squeeze throttle trigger to full throttle position and hold.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pull recoil starter handle out slowly until starter ratchets are engaged, then pull handle with short, sharp strokes until engine starts. If engine fails to start, repeat all steps above.

Note: Use of the primer bulb is not required to start a warm engine. However, if a combination of a hot engine and warm outside temperatures induces a vapor lock condition, use the primer bulb. This will introduce cool fuel into the carburetor and break the vapor lock.

To Stop Engine:

1. Release throttle trigger and move ignition switch to "OFF" position.

WARNING

The cutter head continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off. Do not place any part of the body in the cutter head area until you are sure the cutter head has stopped.

CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH

This machine is equipped with a centrifugal clutch which is designed to engage when engine speed reaches approximately 3600 - 4200 RPM. This is the point at which the cutter head begins to rotate. The clutch will slip to prevent possible engine damage should the cutter head be prevented from rotating. Should this situation occur, STOP ENGINE, remove obstruction, and resume operation.

ENGINE OPERATION

1. Allow the engine to run at idle speed a few minutes to warm up before using. IMPORTANT: The cutting head should not rotate at engine idle speed. If cutting head rotates at idle, decrease idle speed by adjusting idle stop screw. Refer to Adjusting Carburetor, page 9.

Note: DO NOT have engine under load during this warm up period.

1. When starting trimmer engine initially, check carburetor adjustments. Refer to Adjusting Carburetor, page 9.
2. By squeezing throttle lever, increase engine RPM to speed required for operation before placing trimmer under load.

IMPORTANT: Do not use trimmer at very low engine speeds. Cutting efficiency will be poor and clutch damage could result.

1. ALWAYS reduce engine speed to idle when not trimming.
2. NEVER operate the engine at high RPM without line extended.

OPERATING TIPS (Figs. 6 & 7)

WARNING

Always wear safety goggles or other suitable eye protection and long pants and shoes while operating trimmer. Wear a long sleeve shirt or other similar arm protection to avoid possible contact with hot muffler surface. Ear protection must be worn when operating trimmer for prolonged periods of time (over 2-1/2 hours).

1. The trimmer will cut grass, weeds, ivy, and other similar grasses, and can be used to cut areas around shrubs, foundation walls, along fences, sidewalks, and patios.
   Be sure to inspect area to be trimmed for any wire, cord, or string-like matter which could become entangled in the rotating line.
2. Do not force the unit. Remember, it is only the tip of the cutting line that does the job. Forcing the line against an object like a foundation wall or fence could cause the line to break (Fig. 6).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Figure 6

1. Get comfortable. Make sure support handle adjusting knob is tightened securely before operating trimmer. When trimming you should be standing in a natural position without having to bend over or stand on your toes.

CAUTION

Always be sure of your footing when operating trimmer.

1. Slowly move trimmer in a side to side motion into the area being cut, while at the same time, holding the unit at the desired height of cut. Always tip the leading edge of the cutter slightly downward to gain maximum cutting efficiency (Fig. 7).

Figure 7

1. The life of your cutting line is dependent upon following the previous trimming techniques, as well as what is being cut, and where the cutting is done. EXAMPLE: Line will wear faster when run against a foundation wall as com-

pared to trimming around a tree. Some line breakage will occur from moving unit too fast, from entanglement with foreign matter, from normal line fatigue, and from attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds in excess of unit's capability.

LENGTHENING CUTTING LINE (Fig. 8)

Your Toro trimmer is equipped with an automatic line feeding device so the line can be lengthened without STOPPING THE ENGINE.

Pure mechanical diagram showing a lever mechanism with no text or symbols

Figure 8

Note: Engine speed and noise will increase noticeably when line wears down.

1. To lengthen line, firmly tap spool on the ground while the engine continues to run at normal cutting RPM (Fig. 8). The line will be fed from the spool and cut off to the proper length by the cutting knife attached to the shield.

Remember to keep the engine speed up while lengthening the line. Just tap the trimmer on the ground; do not hold it on the ground.

Note: The spool cap may wear during normal use of the line advance feature and may require occasional replacement.

Empty spools and spools prewound with 38 feet of cutting line are available through your local Toro Dealer.

Never continue to use spool cap which has been worn through, cracked or has chips out of it.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING CUTTING LINE (Figs. 9-11)

1. To replace cutting line when your factory furnished supply runs out, you may purchase .080" dia. replacement line to rewind the empty spool or prewound replacement spools from your Toro retailer.

WARNING

Shut off engine and be certain cutter head has completely stopped rotating before inverting trimmer.

1. To remove empty spool, insert medium blade screwdriver in one of two window slots on spool hub and twist screwdriver 1/4 turn. Spool will snap off. Note: Use as wide a screwdriver as will fit in slot so as not to mar cap when twisting.

(Do not release line tension until spool is installed in drum.) Place spool on keyed core and push in place until you hear it click. Unwind no more than five inches form spool.

MAINTENANCE

1. If line should break at the eyelet, remove the spool completely, refeed the cutting line through the eyelet and reassemble spool to trimmer following instructions above.

ADJUSTING CARBURETOR (Fig. 12)

The carburetor has been adjusted at the factory, but an adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, and altitude.

IMPORTANT: Before making carburetor adjustments, clean the air filter and muffler and be sure the right amount of line is fed from the trimmer spool.

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury, use extreme caution when an adjustment or maintenance procedure must be performed while the engine is running. Pull wire off spark plug if engine does not have to be running while performing adjustment or maintenance procedures.

1. Start the engine and let it warm up for approximately 3-5 minutes. Do not adjust carburetor when engine is cold. Be sure to perform carburetor adjustment while at a temperature that will be the average outdoor temperature at which the trimmer will be used. Allow the engine to idle. If necessary, readjust the idle speed to keep the engine from stalling (2600-3200 RPM). Turn screw clockwise to increase idle speed, counterclockwise to decrease idle speed.

CAUTION

Engine must be running so final adjustment of the carburetor can be performed. To guard against possible personal injury, keep hands, feet, and face away from concealed, moving, or rotating parts.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATE FLEXIBLE SHAFT

The flexible drive shaft has been evenly greased at the factory. After approximately 40 hours of operation, the flexible drive shaft should be removed from the drive shaft housing and all surfaces of it should be evenly greased with No. 2 general purpose lithium base grease. To remove flexible drive shaft from drive shaft housing, first remove cutter head assembly by reversing assembling instructions in Cleaning Trimmer Head, pages 11-12. Then pull flexible drive shaft from drive shaft housing.

PREPARING TRIMMER FOR STORAGE

1. For long term storage, it is recommended that gasoline be drained from fuel tank. After fuel is drained, start engine and let it idle until all fuel is consumed and engine stops. If gasoline is not drained, gum-like varnish deposits will form and cause poor engine operation, even starting problems. Fuel can be left in gas tank only if a fuel additive, such as Toro's Preservit, is added to gasoline before storing. Toro's Preservit is a petroleum distillate based conditioner/stabilizer. Toro does not recommend stabilizers with an alcohol base, such as ethanol, methanol or isopropyl. Use fuel additive in recommended quantities as specified on container.

Under normal conditions, all fuel additives remain effective in fuel for 6–8 months.

1. If trimmer is stored with fuel and a fuel additive in gas tank, lay trimmer on a flat surface so fuel does not contact gas cap.

2. Remove dirt and grime from external parts of trimmer housing. Also clean the cooling system: refer to Cooling System Service, page 10.

3. Pull wire off spark plug, clean area around plug so foreign matter cannot fall into cylinder when plug is removed. Remove plug from cylinder head and pour one teaspoon (5 ml) of 2 cycle oil into spark plug hole. Pull recoil starter handle slowly to distribute oil on inside of cylinder. Reinstall spark plug and tighten it to 9 ft-lbs (1.2 Kg-m). If torque wrench is not used, tighten plug firmly. DO NOT INSTALL WIRE ON SPARK PLUG.

4. Check condition of cutter head; replace line, if necessary; refer to Replacing Cutting Line, pages 8–9.

5. Clean the air cleaner if necessary: refer to Servicing Air Cleaner, page 11.
6. Check and tighten all screws, bolts, nuts and mating parts. If any part is damaged, repair or replace it.
7. Store trimmer in a clean, dry place. Cover trimmer to protect it and keep it clean.

OPTIONAL SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER—PART #77-2120

If a spark arrestor muffler is required because of local, state or federal regulation, it may be purchased at your local Authorized TORO Service Dealer. If trimmer is operated on any California forest, brush or grass covered land without a properly operating spark arrestor muffler, the operator is violating state law, Section 4442 Public Resources Code.
