Installing A Blade - Shindaiwa 81359 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Installing a Blade

Turn the C242 upside down so the gear
case output shaft is facing UP and
remove the shaft bolt, bolt guard and
holder B from the gear case shaft.
1. Align the hole in blade holder A with the
matching hole in the gear case flange
and then temporarily lock the output
shaft by inserting a hex wrench
through both holes.
See Figure 12.
2. Fit the blade over the flange on holder
A. See Figure 13.
IMPORTANT!
Both holders must be flat against the
surface of the blade.
3. Install blade holder B on the output
shaft. See Figure 13.
4. Install the bolt guard and then the blade
retaining bolt. Using the combination
spark plug wrench/screwdriver, tighten
the bolt firmly in a counter-clockwise
direction. The holder B must fit flush
against the blade.
5. Remove the hex wrench.
The C242 should now be com-
pletely assembled and
ready for use with a blade.
