Basic maintenance work for the Carver trimmer

• Replace the fuel suction head annually; you should also replace the sealing plug in the gas tank (it dries out and begins to leak fuel). Along with this procedure, the fuel tank is inspected and cleaned;
• The Carver gas trimmer is balanced every time the cutting equipment is changed. When the tool is properly balanced, the cutting attachment barely touches the ground with the trimmer positioned on the operator's shoulders;
• Inspect and clean the air filter regularly. If necessary, replace the filter element;
• The spark plug is inspected every 25 workers, replaced as necessary;
• Before each use of the brush cutter, inspect the cutting equipment. Do not use an electric or gasoline trimmer with a damaged blade or faulty cartridge;
• Before each start of the Carver electric trimmer, make sure that the motor housing and insulation are intact, check that the plug and power cord are in good condition, and ensure that the ventilation holes on the motor are clean;
• Inspect and clean the breather and muffler regularly (every 50 engine hours). If the muffler of a gasoline trimmer burns out, replace the unit with a new one.

Fuel and lubricants for Carver lawn mowers

The Carver petrol mower is driven by a single-cylinder, two-stroke internal combustion engine. The piston parts of such engines are lubricated with oil, which is added to gasoline. Thus, before refueling the trimmer, you need to prepare an oil-gasoline mixture.

As the basis for the mixture, we take high-octane gasoline of the AI-92 brand and add motor oil for two-stroke engines at the rate of 1 to 50, that is, we dilute 20 grams of oil with one liter of gasoline. The modern two-stroke engine of the Carver lawn mower does not require special running-in. However, company representatives recommend running out two or three tanks of fuel in a gentle manner, without overheating or particularly overloading the device. Also during this period, it is recommended to add 10% more oil to the fuel mixture than usual.

The mixture for the Carver scythe is prepared in a separate container; it is prohibited to mix fuel in the tank of the lawn scythe. It is not recommended to prepare large quantities of fuel - it should be used within two to three weeks. The use of oils not intended for two-stroke air-cooled engines is also prohibited. Use only proven oils.

Recommended engine oils for Carver gasoline trimmer:

• Oleo-Mac Prosint 2T;
• STIHL HP;
• Echo JASO FD with dispenser;
• Husqvarna HP;
• CHAMPION JASO FD.

First launch of the Carver petrol trimmer

The Carver petrol trimmer is supplied unassembled. After assembling and refueling the engine, you can start the engine:

• Unscrew the spark plug and pour a few grams (3-5) of engine oil into the cylinder (this way you can start the engine with less effort);
• After this, without excessive force, pull the starter handle towards you. Repeat the movement 7-10 times. Now all the rubbing parts of the engine will be lubricated, which will increase the service life and make the first start easier;
• Reinstall the spark plug;
• Pour the fuel mixture into the tank of the Carver trimmer;
• Check the engine housing for fuel leaks. Once again, make sure that all components and parts of the lawn mower are securely fastened;
• Move the throttle lever to the “Closed” position;
• Pump up the fuel using a primer, make no more than 5-7 presses;
• Turn on the ignition (move the switch to the “Start” position);
• Pull the starter handle toward you until it engages the ratchet, then jerk it sharply;
• After the engine seizes, immediately open the throttle;
• Now start the Carver trimmer engine again. It will run at higher speeds, so press and release the throttle. After this, the engine (with a correctly adjusted carburetor) will go to idle, and the cutting equipment (cartridge or disk) will come to a stationary state.

Carver trimmers customer reviews, pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages

Trimmer Carver GBC-31F reviews

Konstantin A. ★★★★ Advantages:
Quite practical and convenient.
The noise level is normal. The engine runs quietly. Starting on a cold engine 2-3 times with the choke closed in normal mode (not starting). Supplied with oil filled. The set is complete as described. Assembly did not cause any difficulties. Disadvantages:
The manufacturer recommends using trimmer line with a diameter of 2.4 mm.
This line seems to me to be a bit thin. I used 3mm diameter. The result is better. The engine power is sufficient. Comment:
This is the first trimmer.
I can't compare it with other models. Yitzu K. ★★★★★ Pros:
4-stroke engine starts and runs stably.
Doesn't smoke or stink. Relatively powerful. Very comfortable suspension system on both shoulders. A convenient bobbin that really works as it should. The non-separable shaft makes the entire structure more rigid, which in turn reduces parasitic vibrations. Assembling and bringing the scythe into combat readiness takes no more than 10 minutes. Disadvantages:
So far everything is fine, except that it is a little noisy, but in comparison with the two-stroke Patriot, everything is much quieter.
Comment:
It so happened that we left for the dacha only in mid-June. The grass had already grown above the waist, all kinds of weeds had already gained strength and became as thick as a finger. In short, our electric trimmer, naturally, could not deal with such a neglected situation (although if you mow on time, there will be no problems). I decided to buy a lawn mower. I wanted it to be inexpensive, and have a 4-stroke engine, and not really shit. The choice fell on this model. And I don’t regret it at all. I thoroughly mowed 8 acres in 2 hours. The disc knife coped with tall grass and weeds and dry branches of bushes with “Hurray!” It cut everything like a knife through butter. In general, the model is well assembled. There is no feeling of cheap smelly plastic. There is nothing loose, no play or leaking. The oil in both the engine and the gearbox has already been filled. True, we don’t know which one. Added grease to the gearbox. I hammered it in, turned the shaft a few revolutions, and wiped off the squeezed-out excess. The instructions describe the starting moment a little crookedly. If you do everything according to the instructions, the braid immediately begins to rotate the bobbin, and at maximum speed. And it should be at idle speed, i.e. The motor runs but the bobbin does not spin. Using scientific poking, I determined that the position of the start button should be in the “I” position. When pouring gasoline, you need to tilt the spit slightly so that the air comes out of the tank. This moment is not described in any way in the Murzilka. Starts up reliably the first time. No dancing with a tambourine is required. So far I'm happy. I’m especially pleased that I don’t need to prepare a gasoline-oil cocktail, and after work I don’t need to blow my nose out of black snot, like after a 2-stroke braid. Buy at a discount

Pavel Sergeevich ★★★★★ Advantages:
PriceKit Works
Disadvantages:
Noisy
Comment:
Bought for the 2022 season, worked for the season, 10 acres at a time - easy. A little noisy, but all 2-stroke engines are like that. After the winter it started right up. Bicycle handle, it makes it easy to mow a lot at once + normal reel + delimbing knife included. It mows everything, any grass, thickets, even thick grass and bushes with a fishing line, just on the go. Of course, it also depends on the fishing line, but if there is a weak trimmer, it will reel in stupidly and that’s it. One season, of course, is not an indicator, but time will tell.

Alexandr I. ★★★ Advantages:
inexpensive, seems to work.
It even mows down, which is surprising. Disadvantages:
Frankly cheap materials.
The Chinese were lazy, they didn’t even include assembly instructions in the kit. The rod is made of aluminum of such quality that it seemed to me that it was tin. It is very scary to mow it due to the fact that everything rattles, creaks, everything is somehow unreliable. It starts very strangely, even after adjusting the carburetor in the workshop, with the throttle open and only at full throttle. otherwise it stalls. Comment:
by and large, for 3500 there are not so many options.
I recommend that those who will buy, purchase automotive lubricant, like lithol, and lubricate everything that is possible. especially in the design where the knife and fishing line are attached. let it run idle for half an hour - let the rings rub in. gasoline does not need to be made 1k 50. make 1k35. it will not be worse. and better not 92 but 95 Oleg G. ★★★★★ Advantages:
lightweight, economical
Disadvantages:
none
Comment:

Andrey ★★★★ Advantages:
Price, power, not so gluttonous.
Disadvantages:
Weak tube where the controls are located (the handles are something to grab onto), hit a bump in the air and broke off. The problem can be solved, we install stainless steel.
The strap is also not comme il faut. Comment:
The device is not bad, it cuts right up to bushes with a knife, it has enough power, it starts perfectly, it consumes fuel in moderation. But weak aluminum tubes that you hold on to. I broke it off without noticing a bump in the grass, I want to install a stainless steel pipe. For this money you won't find anything better. Vitaly V. ★★★★all in all not bad for the money, the throttle is uncomfortable - it rubs your hand and the bobbin is rather weak Buy at a discount
