Blade Maintenance
CAUTION: Beware of the cutting edges on the blades. Always wear work gloves when handling blades.
Changing Blades
1. Remove cutterhead pulley guard.
2. Place an 8 mm wrench on the inside of the cutterhead shaft and a wrench on the blade nut. Turn to loosen
nut. Remove outer washer and old blade.
3. Insert new blade. Place outer washer the same direction as removed and tighten nut as snug as possible.
4. Reinstall cutterhead pulley guard.
Lubrication
1. Use #2 multi-purpose grease on cutterhead body.
2 . Oil all exposed bearings, linkages and front wheels.
3. The two sealed bearings on the cutterhead do not require lubrication.
Storage Instructions
Edger/trimmers stored for any length of time should be completely drained of fuel to prevent gum
deposits from forming in the carburetor and fuel tank. Follow these steps before storing the engine.
1. Drain fuel tank completely.
2. Run the engine until it stops to clean all gasoline out of carburetor.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the crank case.
4. Remove the spark plug. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Pull starter rope on the engine to spread
the oil. Replace the spark plug.
5. Clean dirt from engine cylinder and cylinder head fins and starter blower housing.
