McCulloch Supreme 300B B 300B Instruction Manual

To start the McCulloch Supreme 300B Trimmer, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible. Set the choke to the start position, hold the handle firmly, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Move the choke to the run position and pull the rope again to start.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87, mixed with high-quality 2-cycle engine oil at a ratio of 40:1. Ensure the mixture is fresh and well-mixed before filling the tank.
To replace the trimmer line, turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug. Remove the spool cover by pressing the tabs on the sides. Take out the empty spool and replace it with a pre-wound spool or wind new line around the spool following the directional arrows. Reassemble the parts and ensure they are securely fastened.
A trimmer stalling during operation can be due to clogged air filters, incorrect fuel mixture, or a dirty carburetor. Clean or replace the air filter, ensure the fuel mixture is correct, and clean the carburetor to resolve the issue.
To clean the air filter, remove the cover by unscrewing it. Take out the filter and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the cover securely.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug, cleaning the trimmer head, and checking the fuel line for leaks. Lubricate moving parts as needed and ensure all screws and fasteners are tight.
If the trimmer head does not spin, it could be due to a broken drive shaft, worn clutch, or debris blocking the head. Inspect the drive shaft for damage, check the clutch for wear, and clean any debris from the trimmer head. Replace parts as necessary.
Before storing, run the engine until it stops to ensure the fuel system is empty. Clean the trimmer thoroughly and check for any needed repairs. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Yes, the McCulloch Supreme 300B Trimmer can be used for edging. Adjust the trimmer head to the desired angle and carefully guide it along the edge you wish to trim. Use caution to maintain control and achieve a clean edge.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced trimmer head, loose parts, or a bent shaft. Check and tighten all fasteners, inspect the trimmer head for damage, and ensure the shaft is straight. Replace any damaged components.
