Frequently Asked Questions - FZS 4003 B Fieldmann

What type of fuel does the Fieldmann FZS 4003 B use?

The machine uses a mixture of unleaded gasoline (95 octane) and high-quality two-stroke engine oil in a ratio of 1:25. Do not use pure gasoline.

How do I start the brush cutter?

Press the gas lever to 1/4 of its travel to engage the gas lock, then turn the main switch on. Set the primer lever to OFF (0), pull the starter quickly. Once started, move the primer lever to ON (1). Let the engine warm up at idle for 2-3 minutes before use.

How do I adjust the idle speed?

Locate the idle speed adjusting screw (see Fig. 2 in the manual). Turn it counterclockwise to decrease idle speed or clockwise to increase it. The correct idle speed is 3000 rpm.

How do I replace the cutting line?

Remove the cord head, take out the coil and remove old cord. Cut about 2 meters of new line (2.4 mm diameter). Insert both ends through the openings in the inner part of the head so they are equal length. Wind both ends onto the coil in the direction of the arrow, place coil back, and pull ends through opposite openings.

What maintenance is required after 20 hours of use?

After 20 hours, clean the air cleaner and the fuel filter. After 50 hours, also clean the exhaust pipe and muffler, lubricate the drive shaft, clean the spark plug (gap 0.6-0.7 mm), and lubricate the gearbox.

Can I use the machine without the protective cover?

No, never use the machine without the protective safety cover installed. The cover is essential to prevent injury from flying debris and contact with the cutting blade.

What should I do if the engine starts but then immediately stops?

Check the fuel: ensure there is enough fresh fuel and the mixture is correct. Check the spark plug for defects or dampness. Clean or replace the air filter if clogged. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How do I store the brush cutter for a long period?

Drain the fuel tank and carburetor completely. Close the primer and pull the starter 3-5 times. Remove the spark plug, add a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder, and pull the starter gently 2-3 times. Clean the exterior and store in a clean, dry place.

What safety equipment should I wear when operating?

Always wear safety helmet, safety gloves, protective clothing (trouser-legs against cutting), and safety shoes. Also use ear and eye protection. Keep all persons and animals at least 15 meters away.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Contact the dealer where you purchased the machine or an authorized service center. The manual lists compatible parts: 3-teeth blade, cord head assembly, air filter, spark plug, etc. Use only genuine Fieldmann parts.

Drive shaft parts

Drive shaft assembly (see Fig.2)

* Unscrew hexagonal screws (M6 x 10; Figs. 2, 1).
Fasten the drive shaft to the engine housing with the help of 4 screws, tighten thoroughly.

Handle assembly (see Figs. 3, 4, 5)

* Unscrew screws (2), put the handle bars to the grip holder (1), select the position according to your working style (right-handed – the switch on the right side when viewing from the engine). Pre-screw the upper parts of the grip holder (4 screws) (2), adjust the position of the handle bars and tighten the screws (2) thoroughly.

Gearbox parts (see Figs. 6, 7)

Unscrew the locking bolt, mount the cutting tool respectively (see Fig. 6): Gearbox (1) – Cutting head carrier (2) – Cutting blade (3) – Cover (4) – Fixing nut (5). Insert a screwdriver to align the gearbox body groove with a hole of the cutting head carrier. Tighten the nut with the aid of the tubular spanner (6) delivered within the packaging.

Note: Instead of the cutting blade, you can wind the head with the cord on the screw of the carrier.

* Mount the safety cover (3) on the shaft rod with the help of a clamp (2) and screws (1). Be particular about the proper position (see Fig. 7

Cord replacement (see Figs. 13, 14, 15, 16)

* Demount the cord head, take-out the coil with the cord and remove the rest of the cord.
* Pull a new cord of the total length c. 2 m through both openings in the inner part of the cord head (see Fig. 14) so that both ends are of the same length (see Fig. 13).
Wind both ends onto the coil in the direction of the WIND CORD marked arrow (see Fig. 15).
* Place the coil with the cord into the head (see Fig. 16), pull both ends of the cord through the opposite openings in the head and finish the assembly (close up).

Adjust the shoulder strap length and handle position so that you feel comfortably when working. Recheck tightening of all screws, bolts and nuts.

Fuel filling

Gasoline – use only unleaded motor gasoline with octane number 95 (NATURAL 95).
Oil – use only high-quality two-cycle engine oil intended for high speed engines. Mix with gasoline in 1:25 ratio and pour into the tank.

Gas lever and main switch (STOP) (see Fig. 8)

The gas lever (1) with the electrical switch (2) are only partly mounted. Insert the gas cable (47) into the carburetor drawbar groove and connect the electrical switch wires. The gas lever is preassembled on the handle from the factory (3).
⚠ WARNING! When adjusting the gas lever, be sure not to let the cutting tool rotate while starting. The cutting tool would start turning at high speed abruptly and could be dangerous. The gas cable must be adjusted so that the engine is running at idle thrust when releasing the gas lever (the cutting tool is not rotating).

Starting (see Fig. 9)

* Press the gas lever to the 14 of the gas lock and cage it.
Turn the main switch on.
Set the primer lever to the OFF (0) position.

After having started-up, let the engine warm at idle speed 2,500-2,800 rpm for c. 2-3 min before the load of the machine.

⚠ WARNING! The cutting blade may begin rotating just when starting. When starting the engine, the blade must not be touching anything.

Idle speed setup (see Fig. 2)

If idle speed is too high or low, adjust the idle speed with the aid of the adjusting screw (3).
If the speed is too high, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
If the speed is too low, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
