Maintenance

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all
openings. Always stop engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and make sure all moving parts have come to a com-
plete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Allow unit to cool before performing service.
Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

Daily Maintenance

Prior to each work day, perform the following:
Clean any debris or dirt from the cutting attachment.
Lubricate the cutters before use and after refueling. Check the cutters for damage or incorrect adjustment.
Check for loose or missing screws or components. Make sure the cutting attachment is securely fastened.
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.

Maintenance
Gearcase lubrication
Lubricate the cutter assembly gearbox by pumping one or two
strokes of lithium-base grease into the grease fitting using a le-
ver-type grease gun.
Over lubricating can cause the gearcase to operate
sluggishly and can cause grease to leak out.
Gearcase lubrication
To perform this operation, first remove the gearcase from the out-
er tube as follows:
1. Loosen the gearcase clamp bolt.
2. Remove the index bolt from the gearcase.
Do not remove the D-shaped shim washer from the
gearcase clamp. The shim washer prevents damage
from overtightening the tube clamp bolt.
