ACTIVE AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM

Cutting dust is the enemy of all gasoline powered cutters since it gets sucked into the engine and wears down piston, cylinder and bearings.  Active Air Filtration, a combination of three separate filter systems, is one of the many Partner breakthroughs.

1. The first active step separates the cutting dust from the intake air through the maintenance free centrifugal stage. 80-90% of all the cutting dust is separated already in this stage.
2. Remaining dust gets trapped in a second filter stage, made from a plastic foam filter, saturated with oil and has a large surface area.
3. A third filter stage, made of pleated paper, provides additional reassurance that the intake air is free from dust.

PARTNERS EXCLUSIVE SMART CARBURETOR

In order to assure optimum power output, Partner developed a carburetor with built-in filter compensation, SmartCarb™. It maintains a constant air/fuel ratio. This maintains power output even as the filter is clogging up. There is no need to adjust the carburetor manually.  Together, Active Air Filtration and SmartCarb™ maintain power stability, reduce filter costs, lower fuel consumption, and reduce exhaust emissions.  The illustration shows how a machine with SmartCarb™ maintains power stability (blue line) and how a machine with a standard carburetor rapidly loses power (black line).

ENCLOSED CLUTCH

The enclosed transmission protects the drive belt from dust and moisture. Having an enclosed transmission means reduced wear, longer service intervals and fewer service interruptions.

DURA-STARTER

The new starter mechanism is practically maintenance free due to a unique, patented design - Dura Starter - which encloses the return spring and pulley bearing. Several different seals prevent the cutting dust from reaching the vital parts of the starter mechanism.

EASY-START

A high-compression engine makes you pull hard on the starter cord. With the Easy Start decompression valve, this problem is solved easily and effectively.

When you want to start, you just press the button that opens the valve. The Easy Start valve reduces the compression in the cylinder during the start, which means less wear on the starter assembly.

Easy Start reduces the force necessary to start the engine by 50%.
