Depth Control - Husqvarna SC18 Workshop Manual

ASSEMBLY OF DEPTH CONTROL
NOTE: The depth control must be out of machine to assemble properly
1) Locate the depth adjustment screw (item 10) and rod end coupler (item 4) shown in
illustration below.
2) With a pair of vise grips or similar type tool, grip the adjustment screw, making sure you do
not touch the threads. NOTE: The lower ends of the adjustment screw and rod end
coupler have left hand threads.
3) Apply anti-seize to the threads on the end with the shortest threads (the lower end). Thread
the rod end coupler onto the lower end of the adjustment screw until it bottoms out.
4) Insert the depth adjustment screw (end with the longest threads) into the bottom of the depth
control housing.
5) Thread the rod into the housing until approximately 3" (76mm) of threads are exposed at the
top of the housing.
6) Thread the red locking nut first then the jam nut and black depth knob onto the upper part of
the adjustment screw.
7) Once the black knob is all the way on, tighten the jam nut against the black knob.
8) Hold onto the black depth knob and rotate the depth control housing down to within ¼"
(6.3mm) of the rod end coupler.
9) The assembly is now ready to be installed on the machine. BE SURE the pipe that slides onto
the engagement lever is positioned on the bottom of the depth control housing as shown in
the illustration below.
10) After installing the assembly, tighten the hardware on the handle and the bolt securing the
rod end coupler in place and then back both off ¼ turn to prevent binding.
