2. Preparation

a) While edging, always wear eye and ear protection, substantial

foot wear, and long trousers.

b) Thoroughly inspect the surface where the equipment is to be

used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other

foreign objects.

c) WARNING: Petrol is highly ﬂammable.

Take the following precautions:

1. Store fuel in containers speciﬁcally designed for this

purpose.

2. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while

refuelling.

3. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is

running or when the engine is hot.

4. Avoid spillage: if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to

start the engine but move the machine away from

the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of

ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.

5. Tighten all fuel tank and container caps securely.

d) Replace faulty silencers.

e) Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blade is

not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades to

preserve balance.

f) Use only manufacturer-recommended replacement parts and

accessories.

3. Operation

a) Do not operate the engine in a conﬁned space where

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Breathing

exhaust fumes can be fatal.

b) Edge only in daylight or in good artiﬁcial light.

c) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

d) Walk, never run.

e) Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the edger

toward you.

f) Make sure the blade has stopped before crossing surfaces

other than grass and when transporting the edger to and from

the area to be edged.

g) Never operate the edger with defective, missing or incorrectly

ﬁtted guards.

h) Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the

engine.

i) Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully according to

g) Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are competent

to do so.

h) Use only manufacturer-recommended replacement parts and

accessories.

Assembling the Edger

Please refer to the following sections when preparing the edger for

its ﬁrst use.

• Fitting the handle

• Preparing the Engine

FITTING THE HANDLE

In some cases the handle may be completely detached from the

edger body although the upper handle may be connected by the

OPC Stop Ignition wires. Carefully remove the edger and handles

from the box together to avoid damaging the OPC Stop Ignition

wires.

Fit the two long bolts through the holes in the lower handle from the

inside with the round heads snug against the tube. Fit the holes in

the upper handle over the two long bolts. Attach the plastic knob to

the outside of the lower handle bolt as shown below and tighten by

hand until the upper handle is locked in position.

Preparing the Engine

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENGINE

MANUFACTURERS ENGINE OWNER’S MANUAL PRIOR TO

OPERATING THE EDGER.

ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS NEDERLANDS ENGLISH

OIL

Four stroke (cycle) engines are shipped without oil. Place the edger

on a level position, unscrew the ‘OIL FILL’ cap and slowly pour oil

into the sump. Fill to the full mark on the dipstick. The capacity is

approximately 600 ml. Use SAE 30 engine oil. After checking the

oil level, and before running the engine, screw the dipstick ﬁrmly in

place.

Checking the oil level if the engine is not ﬁtted with a dip stick.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL

FOUR STROKE ENGINES should be checked for oil level every 8

hours running (or daily), and the oil should be drained and replaced

after every 50 hours of use.

poses only.

CAUTION

For two stroke engines fuel ratio, refer to engine instruction book.

When ﬁlling the fuel tank, always leave an air space of about 5mm

to allow for expansion of the fuel.

ENGINE

Regular attention to a few simple items will ensure long and trouble-

free service from your mower. Carry out the regular maintenance

described in the engine manual, and check the engine mounting

bolts regularly to be sure they are tight.

NOTE: THE ENGINE IS WARRANTED BY THE ENGINE

MANUFACTURER AND NOT MASPORT. YOUR SPECIALIST

MASPORT SERVICE DEALER CAN ASSIST WITH ENGINE

RELATED WARRANTY MATTERS.

Before making any adjustments to your edger

make sure that the engine is turned off and that

the blade has STOPPED ROTATING. Always

disconnect the spark plug wire and make sure it

cannot accidentally contact the spark plug before

touching anything under the edger housing.

WARNING

Starting the Engine

For more detail description refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual

provided.

1. Make sure the isolator switch on the left hand side of the

engine is turned on.

2. Ensure the blade is clear of the ground. Check the height

adjuster is at the highest setting.

3. Turn the petrol tap on.

OPC Bail

NOTE: This edger is ﬁtted with an Operator Presence control

(OPC) bail at the top of the handle. This must be squeezed against

the handlebar before starting the engine. The engine will stop

immediately when the bail is released.

Some controls have symbols instead of words. On these,

means CHOKE,

means FAST,

means SLOW,

means STOP.

If your engine control does not have the word CHOKE or the choke

symbol

you have a Pulsa Prime engine. (See RUNNING THE

ENGINE, MANUAL START MODELS).

MANUAL START MODELS. If the engine has not been running

recently, or you have cold starting problems, set the engine

control to the CHOKE position. Refer engine owner’s manual.

Grasp the starter grip, pull slowly until a resistance is felt and then

pull forcefully to prevent kick-back. Repeat until the engine starts.

Do not pull the cord with a jerk or release it until fully rewound.—

When the engine starts and has warmed up for a short time,

move the control to the desired speed. Should the engine not start

due to ‘ﬂooding’, move the control to SLOW and pull the starter six

times to clear the ﬂooding.

HINTS FOR EASY STARTING

1. Stand edger on ﬁrm ground.

2. Set the height setting to the highest setting.

3. Start a warm engine with the control in the SLOW

position.

4. Keep the edger clean underneath.

HARD STARTING CHECK LIST

Look for these faults:-

FUEL 1. Insufﬁcient fuel in tank.

2. Fuel tap shut off.

3. Stale fuel.

4. Water or dirt in fuel.

5. Blocked air vent in fuel tank cap.

IGNITION 1. Loose spark plug wire.

2. Dirty spark plug electrodes.

3. Incorrect spark plug gap.

4. Incorrect spark plug type.

OTHER 1. Choked air ﬁlter (Dirt or oil).

2. Engine control cable mis-adjusted.

3. Cutting blade obstructed.

Stopping

Move the engine control to stop.

OPC Bail

OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROL (OPC) BAIL

This is a safety feature which stops the engine quickly if the

operator releases their grip on the handle. To start the engine, you

must move the bail back and hold it against the handlebar.

If the machine run/brake mechanism is not

adjusted correctly or is damaged the blade

could continue to rotate after the OPC arm

is released. In this situation, do not use the

edger. Contact your local servicing

specialist.

WARNING

After Use

CLEANING

DO NOT HOSE THE ENGINE, as water can

damage the air cleaner and the ignition system.

REFER TO ENGINE INSTRUCTION BOOK

MAINTENANCE SECTION BEFORE TILTING

EDGER. STORE YOUR EDGER ON ITS

WHEELS, not its side.

CAUTION

Cut Depth Control

The single point cut height control adjusts the front wheels only.

To operate, steady the edger by grasping the handle with one

hand, pull the lever outwards from the slots with the other hand

and move it to the desired setting.

Blades

DAMAGED BLADES ARE MAJOR HAZARDS.

Check the blade mounting shaft and nut at frequent intervals for

proper tightness.

Check the blade condition frequently, particularly if the edger has

hit a foreign object or is vibrating. Your Authorised Dealer will be

happy to sharpen or replace blades as necessary, or if you prefer,

supply the parts you will need to do the job yourself.
