Removing the Stone Guard Flap
Note: We turned the trimmer on its side to take the photos in this section. To do so, we
removed gas and oil from the machine.
You can access the underside of the
trimmer without having to drain gas and oil
by tilting back on its handlebar.
Tools needed: You will need a
3 ⁄
8
″
wrench
or socket to perform these steps.
1. Remove the screws on either side of
the stone guard and drop it from the
frame (Figure 22).
Tip: Keep the screws together with the
stone guard.
