Remove the spindle sheaves belt guard by removing the two self-tapping
screws which secure it to the blade plate assembly. See Figure 16.
4.
Carefully remove the belt from off of the pulleys, again making sure to note
the orientation of the belt. Discard the belt. See Figure 16.
5.
Working from the front of the edger, place the belt onto the spindle sheaves,
route it back onto the top and bottom idler pulleys, and then place it onto
the engine flywheel pulley.
NOTE: Make certain that the "V" side of the belt is seated into the top pulley
and the flat side of the belt is seated into the bottom pulley. See Figure 16.
6.
Reinstall the spindle sheaves belt guard with the self tapping screws
removed earlier.
7.
Make certain that the drive belt is on the engine flywheel pulley and idler
pulleys, and retighten the flange lock nut on the top of the frame.
NOTE: Make certain that the drive belt is seated correctly and that it is riding
smoothly on the spindle sheaves and is not pinched between them. Repeat
the first three steps if the belt is pinched.
Never operate the edger without the spindle sheaves belt guard in place.

SERVICE
Off Season Storage
Never store edger with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas
where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, or gas appliance.
Preparing The Engine
For engines stored over 30 days:
•
To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on carburetor parts, run
engine until it stops from lack of fuel or add a gasoline additive to the gas
in the tank. If you use a gas additive, run the engine for several minutes to
circulate the additive through the carburetor—after which the engine and
fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
•
While engine is still warm, change the oil.
•
Clean engine of surface debris.
Preparing The Edger
•
Clean and lubricate edger thoroughly as described in the lubrication
instructions.
•
Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
•
Coat edger blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.
•
Refer to Preparing the Engine for correct engine storage instructions.
•
Store edger in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such
as fertilizer.
When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly ventilated or metal storage
shed, care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone,
coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of your edger before
storage.
