WARNING: Always place the blade clutch/
depth control lever in the DISENGAGED
position and turn the edger's engine off before
performing any adjustments.

it is necessary to alter the position of the front, right
wheel. To do either, proceed as follows:
•
To change position of the front, left wheel, remove
the hairpin clip on the left. To change position of the
front, right wheel, remove the hairpin clip on the
right. See Figure 8.
•
Reposition the wheel by sliding it down the front
axle toward the opposite wheel. See Figure 8.
•
Secure the wheel in its new location by inserting the
hairpin clip removed earlier in the hole found
immediately adjacent to it. See Figure 8.
