Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fueling.

Starting

WARNING

Before starting the tool, ensure that the cutting attachment is not touching any objects or the ground. Otherwise, the cutting attachment may unexpectedly rotate and cause an injury.

☐ Ensure that the cutting attachment does not rotate while the engine is idling. If it does rotate, adjust the idle speed according to the instructions in "Idle speed adjustment" in the "MAINTENANCE" section. If the cutting attachment still rotates after this adjustment, immediately stop the engine and cease use, then bring the tool to the nearest Hitachi Authorized Service Center.

(1) Starting the cold engine

1. Set ignition switch (25) to ON position. (Fig. 20)

2. Push priming pump (26) several times so that fuel flows through return pipe (27). (Fig. 21)

3. Set choke lever (28) to START position (closed) (A). (Fig. 22)

4. Pull recoil starter briskly, taking care to keep the handle in your grasp and not allowing it to snap back. (Fig. 23)

5. When you hear the engine want to start, return choke lever to RUN position (open) (B). (Fig. 22)

6. Pull recoil starter briskly again. (Fig. 23)

NOTE

If engine does not start, repeat procedures from 2 to 5.

English

1. Then allow the engine about 2–3 minutes to warm up before subjecting it to any load.
2. Check that the cutting attachment does not rotate when the engine is idling.

(2) Starting the warm engine

Use only 1, 6 and 8 of the starting procedure for a cold engine.

If the engine does not start, use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine.

Cutting

WARNING

○ Always use the harness (if so equipped) and wear the proper attire and protective equipment when operating the unit. (Fig. 24)
Keep others including children, animals, bystanders and helpers outside the 15 m hazard zone. Stop the engine immediately if you are approached. (Fig. 25)
When grass or vines wrap around attachment, stop engine and attachment and remove them. Continuing operation with grass or vines wrapped around the attachment may result in damages such as early abrasion of the clutch.

CAUTION

Use and points of caution will vary depending on the type of cutting attachment. For safe use, make sure to follow the instructions and guidelines provided with each type.

NOTE

○ Press the quick release button or pull emergency release flap (If so equipped) in the event of emergency. (Fig. 26)
○ Use in accordance with local laws and regulations.

(1) Using a semi-auto cutting head

○ Set the engine at high speed when using this attachment.

○ Cut grass from left to right. The cut grass will be discharged away from the body, minimizing transfer to your clothes. (Fig. 27)

○ Cut grass from right to left as the cutting attachment of the curved drive shaft tube model rotates clockwise.

With nylon cord, use about 2 cm of the end of the cord to cut grass. Using the full length of the cord will reduce rotation speed and make cutting difficult.

NOTE

Automatically feeds more nylon cutting line when it is tapped at low rpm (not greater than 6000 min ^-1 ).

WARNING

This product is equipped with a line limiter that will automatically cut any excess cord. When operating the unit, do not remove the guard or line limiter.
As the resistance is greater for nylon cords as opposed to blades, mishandling could increase engine load and result in damage.
☐ Do not use with the engine set at low speeds. If the engine speed is low, grass may wrap around the attachment, causing the clutch to slip which could result in clutch abrasion.
With nylon cord cutters, always use over 15 cm of cord. If the length of the cord is too short, rotation speed will increase and may cause damage to the nylon cord cutter. As the curved drive shaft tube model in particular is not equipped with a deceleration mechanism, the possibility of increased rotation speed for the cutting attachment is high.

(2) Using a blade

○ Adjust engine speed according to the resistance of the grass. For soft grass, use low speeds, For tough clumps of grass, use high speeds.
○ Cut grass from right to left, using the left side of the blade to cut. (Fig. 28)
- Slightly tilting the blade to the left while cutting will pile the cut grass to the left, making collection easy.

NOTE

Excessively increasing rotation speed may cause increased blade wear, vibration and noise. It will also result in increased fuel consumption.

WARNING

• Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts a solid object in the critical area.
  A dangerous reaction may occur causing the entire unit and operator to be thrust violently. This reaction is called blade thrust. As a result, the operator may lose control of the unit which may cause serious or fatal injury. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material to be cut.
  ○ If cutting attachment should strike against stones or other debris, stop the engine and make sure that the attachment and related parts are undamaged.

Stopping (Fig. 29)

Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for a few minutes, then turn off ignition switch (25).

WARNING

A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin after the engine is stopped or Throttle trigger is released. When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY NON-ROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL.

Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 30)

The carburetor is a precision part that mixes air and fuel, and it is designed to ensure high performance from the engine. Before the tool is shipped from the factory, its carburetor is adjusted during a test run. Only make adjustments if it is necessary because of environmental conditions (the climate or atmospheric pressure), the type of fuel, the type of two-cycle oil, etc.

WARNING

Because the carburetor is manufactured with a high degree of precision, do not disassemble it.
☐ For this product, the only setting of the carburetor that can be adjusted is the idle speed (T).
Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover and tube assembled! Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

Idle speed adjustment (T)

WARNING

When the engine is stopped, do not excessively turn the idle speed adjustment screw (T) in a clockwise direction. Otherwise, when the engine starts, the cutting attachment may unexpectedly rotate and cause an injury.
Do not adjust the idle speed adjustment screw (T) for any reason other than to adjust the idling.

Run the engine while adjusting the idling.

(1) If the engine stops during idling Start the engine, and slowly turn the idle speed adjustment screw (T) in a clockwise direction until it is in a position at which the engine rotates smoothly. At that time, ensure that the cutting attachment is not spinning.
(2) If the cutting attachment rotates during idling Slowly turn the idle speed adjustment screw (T) in a counter-clockwise direction until it is in a position at which the cutting attachment does not rotate. At that time, ensure that the rotation of the engine is smooth.

WARNING

If the cutting attachment still rotates after adjustment of the idle speed adjustment screw (T), immediately stop the engine and cease use, then contact the nearest Hitachi Authorized Service Center.

Air fi Iter (Fig. 31)

The air filter (29) must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:

○ Carburetor malfunctions.
○ Starting problems.
○ Engine power reduction.
○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.
○ Abnormal fuel consumption.

Clean the air fi lter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas.

Open the air filter cover and remove the air filter (29). Clean it.

Check that the filter is dry before reassembly.

An air fi liter that has been used for some time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged fi liter must always be replaced.

NOTE

To put the air filter cover back into place, hook it on the upper tabs and then attach it.

Fuel fi Iter (Fig. 32)

Remove the fuel filter (30) from the fuel tank, and replace it if it is dirty.

NOTE

A blocked fuel filter (30) can prevent the supply of fuel and cause a rotation malfunction of the engine.

Spark plug (Fig. 33)

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

○ An incorrect carburetor setting.
○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○ A dirty air fi lter.
○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in malfunction and starting difficulties. If the engine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug first.

If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE

In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement.

Flexible drive shaft (Fig. 34)

(CG23ECP (LB))

Flexible drive shaft should be removed and lubricated with good quality lithium grease every 20 hours. To remove the flexible shaft, first remove screw (31), loosen bolt (32) and remove the cutter case then pull the shaft out of the drive shaft tube. Clean the shaft off and apply a generous coat of lithium grease to it and insert if back into the drive shaft tube, turn it unit it drops into place then install the cutter case, install & tighten screw (31) and bolt (32).

Gear case (Fig. 35)

Check gear case or angle gear for grease level about every 50 hours of operation by removing the grease filler plug on the side of gear case.

If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gears, fill the gear case with quality lithium based multipurpose grease up to 3/4. Do not completely fill the gear case.

CAUTION

○ Make sure to remove any dirt or grit when attaching the plug to its original position.
Before attempting inspection or maintenance of the gear case, make sure the case has cooled.

Semi-auto cutting head

Nylon line replacement

1. Remove the case (17) by firmly pushing inward the locking tabs with your thumbs as shown in Fig. 36.
2. After removing the case, take out the reel and discard the remaining line.
3. Fold the new nylon line unevenly (approx. 10 cm) in half as shown in picture.

Hook the U-shaped end of the nylon line into the groove (33) on the center partition of the reel.

Wind both halves of the line on the reel in the same direction, keeping each half of the line on its own side of the partition. (Fig. 37)

1. Push each line into the stopper holes (34), leaving the loose ends approx. 10 cm in length. (Fig. 38)
2. Insert both loose ends of the line through the cord guide (35) when placing the reel in the case. (Fig. 39)

NOTE

When placing a reel in the case, try to line up the stopper holes (34) with the cord guide (35) for easier line release later.

1. Place the cover over the case so that the cap locking tabs (37) on the cover meet the long holes (36) on the case. Then push the case securely until it clicks into place. (Fig. 40)
2. The initial cutting line length should be approx. 11–14 cm and should be equal on both sides. (Fig. 41)

Blade (Fig. 42)

WARNING

Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade.

○ Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust.
Replace the fastening nut if it is damaged and hard to tighten.
When replacing blade, purchase one recommended by Hitachi, with a 25.4 mm (one inch) fitting hole.
○ In the case of a 3 tooth blade (38), it can be used on either side.
○ Use the correct blade for the type of work.
○ When replacing blades, use appropriate tools.
When cutting edges become dull, re-sharpen or file as shown in the illustration. Incorrect sharpening may cause excessive vibration.
○ Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in any way.

NOTE

When sharpening blade it is important to maintain an original shape of radius at the base of the tooth to avoid cracking.

For long-term storage

Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.

Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.

Maintenance schedule

Below you will find some general maintenance instructions. For further information please contact Hitachi Authorized Service Centers.
