One of these maintenance tasks is cleaning the fuel filter. This simple job can help ensure your trimmer starts and runs well.
Things You Will Need
-
Place the gas can on a flat, stable surface and insert the funnel.
-
Remove the gas cap from the string trimmer and turn the trimmer over slowly, draining the gas tank into the gas can via the funnel.
-
Locate the rubber fuel line that enters the gas tank and remove it. The fuel filter is located in the end of the fuel line. Remove it also.
-
Scrub the fuel filter with a brush and mild soap and water. Blow out all the excess water with compressed air. Finish drying it with a clean cloth.
-
Replace the filter in the fuel line and reattach the fuel line to the gas tank. Fill the tank with fuel, and you are ready to use the string trimmer.
