RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is
extremely important. Check the oil before each use and
change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using
dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.
Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
WARNING: OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check
and maintain the proper oil level in the crank case; it
is important and cannot be overemphasized. Check
the oil before each use and change it as needed.
See Changing the Oil.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield
on your unit is not installed. Use only the instructions that apply
to the type of shaft and shield that your unit is equipped with.

1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft housing.
Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides into the slot on the
edge of the cutting shield. Rotate the shield into place,
counterclockwise. The holes in the guard mounting bracket
and cutting attachment shield will line up (Fig. 1).
2. From inside the cutting attachment shield, push the square bolt
through the hole until the threaded end protrudes through the
guard mounting bracket (Fig. 2).
3. Put the washer on the bolt, then screw the wing nut onto
the bolt and tighten. Figure 3 shows the installation

INSTALL AND ADJUST THE D-HANDLE
On some units, the D-handle may be pre-installed, requiring
only loosening screws and some adjustment. If this is the case,
go to step 4.
1.
Push the D-handle down onto the shaft housing (Fig. 4).
The squared bolt hole in the handle is to the right.

and push through. On the left side of the handle, place the
washer on the bolt, then screw the wing nut onto the bolt.
Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.

shaft housing. Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm)
from the end of the shaft grip.
4. While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 13),
position the D-handle to the location that provides you the
best grip.
