The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two- stroke engine.

Always run the engine on fuel, mixed with oil.

Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.

Fuel

○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.

○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,

please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or Hitachi dealer.

○ If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality

oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO

FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW

(2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

○ Never use multi-grade oil (10W/30) or waste oil.

Fueling

WARNING (Fig. 3)

○ Always shut oﬀ the engine before refueling.

○ Slowly open the fuel tank (6), when ﬁ lling up with fuel, so that

possible over-pressure disappears.

○ Always move the unit at least 3 m from the fueling area before

starting.

no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by

shaking the container, before fueling.

Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 14)

WARNING

○ The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor

adjustments.

○ Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover.

Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal

injuries.

In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run

at the factory, the carburetor is adjusted. A further adjustment may

be required, according to climate and altitude. The carburetor has

one adjustment possibility:

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

Idle speed adjustment (T)

Check that the air ﬁ lter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the

cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close

(clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting

attachment starts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw

until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle

speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the

rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment,

contact Hitachi dealer.
