NOTE: The spindle can not be serviced, and must be
replaced as a unit if it gets damaged. See Figure 6.
NOTE: The cutting height is adjusted by sliding the disc
that the trimmer line is attached to up or down the
spindle shaft.
• The disc is held in position by two wing nuts, that
must be loosened before making a height adjust-
ment, and re-tightened to hold that adjustment.
• The skid assembly remains fixed, and the disc
moves in relation to the skid assembly.
• The wing nuts cannot be removed from their
studs: the threads are peened.

2. Remove the nuts from the four carriage bolts that
hold the deflector to the trimmer base, using a 7/16"
wrench. See Figure 7.
3.Rotate the deflector so that the wide part of the center
hole in the deflector will fit past the spindle. See Figure 8.
