Maintenance

WARNING – DANGER

UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE LUBRICATING

OR ADJUSTING THE BLADES.

A. Lubrication

1.A few drops of light No. 10 oil should be placed on the back edge of each adjusting screw head approximately after every 4 hours of normal operation.

2.To obtain trouble free trimming, it is necessary to keep the blades lubricated and clean. The gum that collects and builds up on the blades can be removed with a 50-50 mixture of kerosene and No. 10 oil. As petroleum products can shorten the life of some plastics, it is necessary to remove excess oil-kerosene mixture from the plastic parts.

3.When blades are replaced, or any other time that the bottom cover plate is removed, the grease level should be

checked for proper amount (approximately 1/2 full in the area of the gears) and a new gasket should be used to insure proper seating of the cover plate. Grease should be added every 25 hours of use. Use EP2 white lithium grease in the gear housing.

4.Lubricate male spline part of the drive shaft with EP2 White Lithium grease.

B. Storage

1.Store your trimmer in a dry and dust free space, out of the reach of children.

2.Clean the blades thoroughly and coat them with No. 10 oil to prevent rust.

3.Perform all required maintenance and service found in this manual.

4.Use blades cover.
