Assembly Of Engine And Drive Shaft - Makita EBH340R Instruction Manual

ASSEMBLY OF ENGINE AND DRIVE SHAFT

CAUTION: Before performing any work on the brushcutter,
always switch off the motor and pull the spark plug
connectors off the spark plug. Beware of hot engine
parts and sharp blade edges.
Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION: Start the brushcutter only after having assembled it
completely.
1. Joining flexible pipe with engine and pipe case holder
Insert on end of a flexible pipe (1) into a clutch housing (2) on an
engine until it locks with a slight "click" noise.
Insert the other end of the flexible pipe into a pipe case (3)
holder of a brushcutter until it locks.
Each end of the flexible pipe is interchangeable.
Make sure that a square end of a flexible shaft fits into the joint
of a drive shaft.
CAUTION: If you have difficulty to insert the flexible pipe
properly, the square end of the flexible shaft may
not fit the drive shaft joint. Do not force to push to
avoid damage on the flexible shaft end. Repeat the
same procedure again until flexible shaft and pipe
fit properly.
2. Mounting of control cable
– Remove the air cleaner cover.
– Place the control cable (4) in the adjusting bolt (5), and shift the
swivel (6) so that the cable will be put in the swivel groove. At this
time, the round-hole side of the swivel will be oriented toward the
inner wire end-metal fitting.
– Release the swivel, and confirm that the inner wire-end metal
fitting will be placed in the hole.
– Mount the air cleaner cover.
