Frequently Asked Questions - YT9071A Cotech

What type of fuel does the Cotech YT9071A use?
The Cotech YT9071A uses a mixture of unleaded petrol and 2-stroke oil in a 40:1 ratio. Do not use pure petrol or 4-stroke oil.
How do I adjust the cutting line length?
Tap the cutting head gently on the ground while the engine is idling. The bump-feed mechanism releases more line automatically.
What is the weight of the brush cutter?
The YT9071A weighs approximately 6.2 kg without fuel, making it manageable for most users.
How do I start the engine?
Ensure the stop switch is on, press the primer bulb 5-7 times, set the choke, pull the starter cord until the engine fires, then open the choke and restart.
Can I use a metal blade instead of a trimmer line?
Yes, you can replace the trimmer head with a metal blade (e.g., 4-tooth blade) for thicker brush. Ensure the protective guard is rated for blades.
What maintenance is required?
Regularly clean the air filter and cooling fins, check the spark plug, and lubricate the gearbox. Sharpen or replace the blade when dull.
Why does the engine stall under load?
Possible causes: dirty air filter, old fuel, incorrect mixture, or blocked carburetor. Clean/replace the filter and use fresh fuel.

5.4 Attaching the blade/trimmer head

Caution! The brush cutter/grass trimmer must only be used with a nylon trimmer line or a four-bladed brush cutter blade. No other types of cutting attachments may be used.

5.5 Attaching the trimmer head

  1. Push the inner flange washer onto the drive shaft with the flat side facing outwards. Lock the drive shaft by poking the locking tool (24) through the hole in the blade guard (attached under the gearbox) and the hole in the drive shaft.
  2. Screw the trimmer head on anticlockwise and tighten it.
  3. Make sure that both the blade guard (inner) and trimmer guard (outer with line cutter) are attached.

5.6 Attaching the brush cutter blade

  1. Push the inner flange washer onto the drive shaft with the flat side facing outwards. Lock the drive shaft by poking the locking tool (24) through the hole in the blade guard (attached under the gearbox) and the hole in the drive shaft.
  2. Fit the blade onto the drive shaft so that the hole in the centre of the blade locates on the protruding inner flange washer.
  3. Hold the blade in place and fit the outer flange washer (with the flat side facing the blade).
  4. Tighten the nut on the drive shaft using the included spanner.

Note: The nut has a left-hand thread).

  1. Pass the split pin through the hole in the drive shaft and open the ends to lock the nut.
  2. Make sure that the blade is centred and screwed on tightly.
  3. Remove the outer trimmer guard (which the line cutter is attached to). Remember to reattach the trimmer guard if you change back to using the trimmer head.

Caution! It is very important that the brush blade is centred on the inner flange washer; otherwise the blade will vibrate and damage the product and might even cause an injury.

6. Fuel and Lubrication

We recommend that you use a premixed blend of environmentally friendly 2-stroke engine petrol and 2 % oil.

Caution! Petrol is highly flammable. Avoid smoking close to where fuel is handled, do not cause any sparks, embers or naked flames either. Switch off the brush cutter/grass trimmer and let it cool before refuelling it. Refuel outdoors and always move at least 3 metres away from the refuelling site before starting the trimmer.

Mix petrol (unleaded 95 octane without added ethanol) with a good quality 2-stroke oil intended for air-cooled 2-stroke engines.

Recommended mixture: Petrol/oil 50:1 (2 %).

  • The engine is designed to be used with unleaded fuel.
    • Use at least an 87 octane rated fuel.
  • Use unleaded fuel to protect the environment and your health.
  • Poor quality fuel or oil can damage seals, fuel pipes or the fuel tank.

6.1 Mixing the fuel

N.B. Be precise with the mixture.

  1. Measure out the petrol and oil precisely before mixing.
  2. Pour a small amount of the petrol into a clean fuel can.
  3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate the fuel can.
  4. Pour in the rest of the petrol and agitate the fuel can for at least a minute. Certain oils do not mix well; therefore it is important that the fuel can be agitated to mix the oil and petrol. The engine will last longer if the fuel is well mixed. If the fuel is not mixed properly the mixture will be too lean and the engine may be damaged.
  5. Label the fuel can clearly to avoid the risk of misidentification.
  6. Fuel containing oil is only intended for 2-stroke engines. Pure petrol is for 4-stroke engines. It is therefore very important to label fuel containers clearly.

N.B. Do not mix too much fuel; it should be used within one month.

Caution! Only use fuel containing oil for 2-stroke engines, using pure petrol without the addition of oil will inevitably cause engine damage which is not covered by the guarantee.

6.2 Filling the fuel tank

  1. Unscrew and remove the fuel cap.
  2. Fill with fuel until the tank is roughly 80% full.
  3. Replace and tighten the fuel cap and wipe up any spilt fuel on or around the grass trimmer.

Caution!

• Refuel outdoors and on the ground.
• Always move at least 3 metres away from the refuelling site before starting the trimmer.
- Switch off the grass trimmer and let it cool before refuelling it. Only refuel when you are sure that the fuel can contains 2-stroke fuel!

7. Starting the Engine

N.B. Pull the starter handle (8) straight out. If you pull at an angle the starter cord will rub on the sleeve and soon wear out. Keep hold of the starting handle after pulling it and allow it to return slowly. Never let go of the starting handle straight after pulling it, it could get tangled or break something on the trimmer.

Caution! Only start the engine outdoors, in a well-ventilated place; exhaust fumes are poisonous.

N.B. See the Troubleshooting section if the trimmer doesn't start after several attempts.

Running in the engine

A new engine should be "run in" by using it at low speed and with low resistance for the first few hours. This will help all the moving parts of the engine to loosen up and mate together better and will ultimately lengthen the useful life of the engine.

After the initial running period the engine can be fully loaded and run at full power. However, do not run the engine at full throttle for long periods at a time.

7.1 Starting the engine from cold

Cut the trimmer line to a length of 13 cm before starting to reduce the load while the trimmer warms up.

  1. Place the grass trimmer on a hard and level surface.
  2. Press in the trigger lockout (6) and the trigger (7), then press in the throttle lock (17) on the inside of the handle so that the throttle stays pressed in.
  3. Switch the ignition switch (5) to I.
  4. Lift the choke lever (13) up to activate the choke (close the choke valve).

text_image O Choke I
  1. Pump the primer pump bulb (9) 10 times (the primer pump bulb is located on the bottom of the carburettor).
  2. Pull the starter handle until you feel some resistance. Pull the handle 4 or 5 times gently but firmly in quick succession (do not pull the cord the whole way out on the first attempt).
  3. As soon as the engine has started or fired, the choke lever should be lowered to the "open" position.
  4. Let the engine run without any load for 10 seconds once started.

7.2 Starting a warm engine

  1. Place the grass trimmer on a hard and level surface.
  2. Press in the trigger lockout (6) and the trigger (7), then press in the throttle lock (9) on the inside of the handle so that the throttle stays pressed in.
  3. Switch the ignition switch (5) to I.
  4. The choke lever (13) should be down in the open position (choke off).
  5. Pull the starter handle gently until you feel some resistance and then pull it rapidly until the engine starts.

7.3 Switching the engine off

Release the throttle (7) and let the engine revs drop to idling speed, and then push the ignition switch (5) forward to 0.

8. Use

Note!

  • Hold the grass trimmer with both hands.
  • Depress the throttle and let the engine speed up.
  • Hold the trimmer head parallel to the ground and sweep the grass trimmer from side to side whilst slowly walking forwards. Advance more slowly if the going gets heavy.
  • Do not move the trimmer head towards you, always work away from yourself.
  • Caution! Remove all objects such as cans, bottles and stones from the ground before starting to use the grass trimmer, otherwise they can be thrown about by the trimmer line and cause injury or damage the trimmer.
  • Switch off the grass trimmer at once and check it for damage if you notice that something is ejected or if the grass trimmer starts vibrating. Do not operate the grass trimmer if it has been damaged.
  • Note! Allow the engine to reach full speed before starting to cut the grass, never try to cut grass/brush at low speed.
  • Caution! Never raise the brush blade/trimmer head above knee-height when it is spinning.
  • Caution! Never use metal or plastic coated metal trimmer line, this could cause serious accidents.

8.1 Trimming round trees and bushes

Lean the trimmer head forward slightly and start trimming from left to right whilst slowly walking around the tree. Be careful, so the trimmer line doesn't cut the bark of the tree or the plants that you want to keep! If you trim grass close to fences, foundations, rocks, etc; the trimmer line will soon wear out.

8.2 Preparing the ground (removing all vegetation)

  • Angle the trimmer head approx. 30 degrees to the left (it is easier if you loosen the loop handle and adjust it).
  • Do not do this if there is the slightest risk of something being flung up and injuring people or animals standing within a 30-metre radius.

8.3 Adjusting the trimmer line

Feed out the trimmer line like this:

  1. Run the engine at full speed whilst carrying out points 2–4.
  2. Tap the trimmer head on the ground and lift it up again.
  3. The line will be fed out automatically.
  4. The line will be cut to the correct length by the cutter under the trimmer guard.
  5. Switch off the engine and using something like a screwdriver, clean off any grass and debris from around the guard and trimmer head, otherwise it could impair the cooling of the drive shaft.

8.4 Using the 4-tooth brush cutter blade

Use only the supplied 4-tooth brush cutter blade or an identical replacement. A saw-toothed clearing saw blade must not be used.

The 4-tooth blade can be tilted to various angles for cutting brush from around tree trunks.

  • Normal use: Use the arc of the blade cutting circle labelled "A" for normal brush cutting.
  • The arc labelled "B" can also be used if the handles are held firmly.
  • Caution! Never use the blade within arc "C", as uncontrolled kickback could occur which could injure any bystanders or animals within the danger zone.
