McCulloch MT260 CLS Spare Parts List

To start the McCulloch MT260 CLS Trimmer, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Move the choke lever to the "choke" position, press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Then, move the choke to the "run" position and pull the starter rope again to start the engine.
Use a mixture of unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-stroke oil at a ratio of 40:1. Ensure that the fuel mixture is fresh and properly mixed before use.
To replace the trimmer line, turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug. Remove the spool from the trimmer head, wind new trimmer line around the spool in the indicated direction, and reattach the spool to the trimmer head. Ensure the line is properly threaded through the eyelets.
If the trimmer is not starting, check the fuel level and ensure the fuel mix is correct. Inspect the spark plug for damage or fouling, clean or replace as necessary, and ensure the air filter is clean.
To clean the air filter, remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and wash it with warm soapy water. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter if it is damaged or excessively dirty.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, cleaning the trimmer head, and checking for any loose or damaged parts. Regularly replace the trimmer line and ensure the fuel mix is fresh.
To reduce vibration, ensure all components are securely tightened and check that the cutting attachment is not damaged or unbalanced. Inspect the isolator mounts and replace them if worn.
If the line keeps breaking, ensure you are using the correct diameter line for your model. Avoid trimming near hard surfaces and make sure the line is properly wound and not too tightly packed in the spool.
For off-season storage, empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to remove any remaining fuel. Clean the trimmer thoroughly, check for damage, and store it in a dry, cool place. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder to prevent corrosion.
Always wear appropriate protective gear, including eye protection, gloves, and ear protection. Keep bystanders and pets away from the work area, and be aware of your surroundings to avoid contact with obstacles. Follow all safety instructions in the user manual.
