BLADE REPLACEMENT

_,WARNING:

The blade will con-

tinue to spin after the engine stops or after the throttle trigger has been re- leased. To avoid serious injury, make sure the blade has stopped coasting and disconnect the spark plug (or dis- connect powerhead from power

source) before performing work on the blade.

_WARNING: Wear protective

gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade to avoid

injury. The blade is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.

1.To remove the blade, align hole in the dust cup with the hole in the

side of the gearbox by rotating the blade.

2.Insert a small screwdriver into

aligned holes. This will keep the

shaft from turning while loosening the blade nut.

•Lightly oil external metal surfaces.

•Apply a coating of oil to the entire surface of the blade; wrap it in heavy paper or cloth.

•Check entire attachment for loose

screws or nuts. Replace any dam- aged, worn or broken parts.

•At the beginning of the next season, use only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to oil ratio.
