ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTMENTS

Disengaging OilGuard

(K760 OilGuard)

•When the machine is delivered, the OilGuard plug (A) and the blue indicator pin (B) are fitted in the tank.

•If you are in a situation where you do not have access to Husqvarna OilGuard oil, but you have oil of a similar quality, you can deactivate the OilGuard system using the disconnection function.

•To deactivate the function, pry off the OilGuard plug using a screwdriver and then break off the indicator pin. Now fit the disconnector plug (C) in the tank to complete deactivation and to cover the hole.

•If you want to reactivate the OilGuard system, press the OilGuard plug again. The system is then reactivated, but note that the broken indicator pin cannot be refitted.

•A broken indicator pin indicates that the OilGuard system has been disconnected.

•You can purchase a new indicator pin as a spare, but this is only sold in grey which indicates that the OilGuard system has been deactivated since the machine left the factory.

Reversible cutting head

The machine is fitted with a reversible cutting head allowing cutting close to a wall or at ground level, restricted only by the thickness of the blade guard. In the event of a kickback it is harder to control the machine when cutting with the cutting head reversed. The cutting blade is further away for the centre of the machine which means the handle and the cutting blade are no longer in alignment. It is more difficult to restrain the machine if the blade gets jammed or stuck in its kickback danger zone. See under the "Kickback" heading in the "Operating" section for additional information.

Some of the machine’s good ergonomic features are jeopardised such as balance. Cutting with the cutting head reversed should only occur with cuts that are not possible in a standard manner.

•First release the two bolts and then the adjuster screw to release the belt tension.

•Now unscrew the bolts and dismantle the belt guard.

•Disconnect the water hose from the blade guard.

•Remove the belt from the belt pulley.

•The cutting head is now loose and can be removed from the machine.

•Remove the cutting head and attach it to the other side of the cutting arm.

•Fit the belt guard to the reversed cutting head.

•Tighten the drive belt. See instructions in the section "Maintenance".

•Assemble the water hose nipple and the hose on the opposite upper side of the blade guard.
