Frequently Asked Questions - SXPG42601 STANLEY

What type of fuel does the Stanley SXPG42601 use?

Use fresh, clean 91 unleaded petrol. Do not mix oil with petrol as it is a 4-stroke engine. Avoid E15 or E85 fuels with more than 10% ethanol.

What oil is recommended and how much?

Use 60 ml of 4-stroke engine oil SAE 30, 10W-30 or 10W-40. Check oil level before each use and change every 20 hours.

How do I start the trimmer from cold?

Turn switch to ON, press primer bulb 5-10 times until fuel appears, set choke to FULL CHOKE, pull starter 3-5 times. Once it tries to start, squeeze throttle to release choke, then pull again to start.

TO ADJUST THE TRIMMING LINE LENGTH

The line spool has bump feed function. The line will be extended by tapping the spool head shortly and lightly onto the ground while the unit is running at high speed.

1. Run engine at high speed.
2. Tap the spool head on bare ground to release line.
3. A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the proper length if any excess line is released.

NOTE: Do not hold the spool head on the ground while the unit is running.

The line releases each time the spool head is tapped.

Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.

OPERATION

TIPS FOR TRIMMING

Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the product away from your body.

Cut all grass from top to down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which could cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.

Use the tip of line to trim grass; do not force string head into uncut grass.

Avoid trees, flowers, stones, walls and other objects which can cause the line breakage.

Check and feed the line regularly to maintain full cutting width and performance.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND CARE

Correct and regular cleaning is not only important for the safe use of this product, but also extends its life span.

WARNING. Always stop the engine and wait for the engine to cool down.

Please remove dust, grass etc. from machine after every application. Clean the machine with a wet cloth. For cleaning difficult to reach areas, use a brush.

You may use pressurised air to remove persistent dust.

NOTE: Do not use chemical, acid, alkaline, grinding or other aggressive cleaning agents. They could destroy the surface of the product.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING. Always stop the engine and wait for the engine to cool down.

Disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug.

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.

Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The maintenance interval is only a recommendation for machines in ordinary operating condition. If there are any abnormal signs from the machine, please do the proper inspection and maintenance immediately.

The tightening torque should follow the general screw specification of different size, class and material.

If anything is unclear to you, please contact our service team for help. See Page 2 or 4 for contact details.

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

WARNING. Old engine oil is considered special waste and has to be disposed of according to your local nment protection regulation. Do not pour the oil garbage can, sewer, soil etc.

1. The engine oil replacement is easier if engine is warm (NOT HOT!).
2. Open the oil tank cap and drain the old oil into an approved container.
3. Return the engine to an upright position and refill with lubricant following the instructions in the Adding/Checking Engine Oil section in this manual (Pages 12 & 13).
4. Clean the oil dropped on the unit if necessary.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

1. The air filter elements should be cleaned to provide the engine abundant clean air which benefits the starting, power and life time of the engine.
2. Remove the air filter cover. To remove, press the Red button on the top of the cover with thumb and gently push up the cover with index finger, Fig.12.
3. Remove the air filter
4. If only cleaning of the air filter is necessary, take the air filter pad out and clean it with a jet of dry compressed air until all dust is removed. Wear protective goggle and mask to protect your health during this work.
5. Reinstall the air filter cover by closing the air filter cover over the button on the housing, then push the cover until it locks securely in place.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. If the filter element is lost, contact customer service for a spare part.

SPARK PLUG

Do not attempt to remove the spark plug from a hot engine.

Clean or replace the spark plug if it is soiled with heavy oil deposits.

Replace the spark plug if the centre electrode is worn at the end.

This engine uses either a TORCH CMR5H or a NGK CMR5H spark plug with a 0.6-0.8mm electrode gap, Fig.13. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.

5. Restore the spark plug and its cap.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE CUTTING LINE SPOOL

1. Open the cutting line spool by pressing two release buttons on the side and take out the winding core (Fig.14 & 15).
2. Divide a spare cutting line in 2 equal halves, fix it in the winding core and start to wind the cutting line in two separated rails (Fig.15). Please follow the indicated winding.
3. Fix the 2 line ends (approx. 15cm) at the opening to keep the line wound tightly. (Fig.16)
4. Guide the 2 line ends into the holes on the spool housing and restore the spool cover. (Fig.17)
