To start the Toro TC3500 51660 Trimmer, ensure the trimmer is on a flat surface. Press the primer bulb several times until it fills with fuel. Set the choke to the 'Start' position, hold the trimmer firmly and pull the starter rope rapidly until the engine starts.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and mix it with high-quality 2-cycle engine oil at a ratio of 50:1. Ensure the fuel is fresh and properly mixed before use.
The air filter should be checked before each use and cleaned every five hours of operation. If the air filter is damaged or excessively dirty, replace it to ensure optimal performance.
If the trimmer line fails to advance, check for any tangles or jams in the line spool. Ensure the line is wound correctly and the spool is properly seated. If necessary, replace the line spool with a new one.
To replace the trimmer line, turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug. Remove the spool from the trimmer head, insert the new line into the holes on the spool, and wind it tightly in the direction indicated on the spool. Reattach the spool and cap.
If the trimmer won't start, check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, and verify that the air filter is clean. If necessary, replace the spark plug or air filter.
Regular maintenance such as cleaning the air filter, replacing the spark plug annually, and ensuring the trimmer line is correctly installed will improve performance. Additionally, using fresh, properly mixed fuel is crucial.
It is recommended to check the air filter and trimmer line before each use, replace the spark plug annually, and perform a comprehensive inspection and cleaning of the trimmer every 25 hours of operation.
To store the trimmer during the off-season, drain the fuel tank completely and run the engine until it stops. Clean the trimmer thoroughly, inspect for any damage, and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
Always wear protective gear, including gloves, eye protection, and sturdy footwear. Maintain a safe distance from people and pets, and avoid using the trimmer in wet conditions. Ensure the area is clear of debris that may be thrown by the trimmer.
