Toro 1100 51318C Operator's Manual

To start the Toro 1100 51318C Trimmer, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Set the choke lever to the "Closed" position, press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible, then pull the starter handle briskly. After the engine starts, move the choke lever to the "Open" position.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. It is recommended to mix this with a high-quality 2-cycle oil at a 50:1 ratio for optimal performance.
If the trimmer does not start, check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, and clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure the air filter is clean and the choke is in the correct position.
To replace the trimmer line, remove the spool from the trimmer head. Cut a length of line approximately 15 feet long, and wind it evenly onto the spool. Insert the ends of the line through the holes in the trimmer head, then reattach the spool.
Excessive vibration may be caused by a damaged or unbalanced trimmer head. Check for any debris or damage and clean the trimmer head. If the issue persists, inspect the drive shaft and replace any worn parts as needed.
Regular maintenance should be performed after every 25 hours of use, including cleaning the air filter, checking the spark plug, and inspecting the trimmer line. Annually, you should conduct a more thorough inspection and replace any worn parts.
Yes, the Toro 1100 51318C Trimmer can be used for edging. Rotate the trimmer so the string lines up vertically with the edge of your lawn, and move it in a steady pace to achieve a clean edge.
Frequent line breakage can be caused by improper use or contact with hard surfaces. Ensure you're using the correct diameter line and avoid hitting concrete or other hard materials. Slow down the trimmer speed when trimming around obstacles.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. If it's a foam filter, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry. If it's a paper filter, tap it gently to remove debris. Replace the filter if it's excessively dirty or damaged.
Always wear protective eyewear and gloves when operating the trimmer. Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders and pets. Avoid loose clothing that can get caught in the trimmer. Keep a firm grip on the trimmer and operate it at waist level.
