► Position the unit so that you are facing the underside of
the deflector and the drive shaft is pointed upwards.
► Slip the thrust plate (2) onto the drive shaft (3), keeping
the side of the thrust plate with the smaller diameter facing
upwards toward the mowing head (1).
► Insert the stop pin (4) in the hole in the gearbox and rotate
the drive shaft until the stop pin slips into position and
blocks the rotation of the drive shaft.
► By hand, screw the mowing head counterclockwise onto
the drive shaft while keeping the stop pin inserted. The
drive shaft must be blocked with the stop pin to mount or
remove a cutting attachment.
► Continue screwing down the mowing head until it is
properly and securely attached.
► Remove the stop pin from the hole in the gearbox.
NOTICE
Using the trimmer with overly long trimmer line increases the
load on the motor and reduces its operating speed. This may
result in overheating and damage to important components.
NOTICE
After mounting or removing the cutting attachment, always
remove the stop pin used to block the drive shaft.
