WARNING:
Propane
is highly
flamable,
and its vapors
can explode
if ignited.
Take the following
precautions.
USE THE CORRECT PROPANE CANISTER
Always use Propane canisters or "Bottles" that are the
correct size. The 17 ounce or 16.4 ounce canisters that
are approximately
3-7/8 inch in diameter are the cor -
rect canisters (Fig.8). Do not use the smaller diameter
canisters as they will not latch securely to the unit and
vibration
may cause damage to the trimmer
and poten-
tially result in a dangerous
leak.

CANISTER
ATTACHING
THE PROPANE CANISTER
1. Make sure the engine is off.
2. If the propane canister to be installed has a protec-
tive plastic cap over the threaded end, remove it.
Make sure the canister clamp is in the un-latched
position.
3. Insert the threaded end of the propane canister into
the clamp as far as it will go (Fig. 9A). Insert the propane con-
nector onto the threaded end of the canister and screw it
onto threads clockwise (Fig. 9B). Screw it until snug.
Do not over tighten.
It may be normal to hear or smell
a slight momentary
leak of propane as the connector
is being screwed in. Make sure that the connector
is
installed tight enough that any leakage stops. Hand
tight is sufficient.
Slide canister back so all of fuel line
components
are behind the guard and latch the canister
clamp.
