E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Inspect Arbor Drive Belts - SS26-31D • Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the engine power to the cutting blade. Slipping belts will over heat, the blade life will be shortened and the cutting speed limited. Over tensioned belts will shorten the belt and bearing life.

E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Important! Arbor Shaft Bearings MUST be lubricated EVERY FOUR HOURS! Arbor Shaft Bearing Grease Bearings - (12 Total) grease points Arbor Shaft Bearings (2) must be greased every 4 hours. (Figure 16) All other Bearings (8/10) must be greased every 40 hours. Those include: Front Wheel Bearings (2), Fork Assembly Bearings (2) Rear Drive Wheel Bearings (2), Clutch Sprocket Bearings (2)

Unbalanced blades will wear excessively, vibrate and damage both arbor shaft and bearings. For safety reasons, EDCO does not recommend the use of any abrasive blades. Abrasive blades can break and cause serious personal injury to operator and/or bystanders. If abrasive blades are used by choice, only use those which are marked as reinforced abrasive blades.
