GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this Edger does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must main­
tain the Edger as instructed in this manual.
The above chart is provided to assist the
operator in properly maintaining the Edger.
LUBRICATION
• After each 25 hours of use of your Edger,
apply light machine oil to all moving
parts, particularly the wheels.
• We recommend that the oil in the engine
crankcase be changed after the first
2 hours of operation and after each 25
hours of use thereafter.
NOTE: If the Edger is being used in sandy
or dusty areas, change the oil more fre­
quently to prevent premature engine wear.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
• Disconnect the ^ark plug wire from the
spark plug.
V Remove the oil drain plug as shown in
first figure on page 12 and drain the oil
into a flat pan.
• After draining all the oil, reinstall the oil
drain plug securely.
NOTE: The oil will drain more freely when
the engine is warm.
• Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. See first
figure on page 9.
• Fill the engine crankcase, pouring slowly.
DO NOT OVERFILL. For approximate ca­
pacity see PRODUCT SPECIFICA­
TIONS on this page.
NOTE: The quill assembly bearings are
factory sealed and will require no lubrica­
tion.
• Reconnect the spark plug wire on the
spark plug.
