Method to change shield
 All the surface of the flexible shaft should always be properly
greased.
 At the time of delivery from the plant, this is greased, so evenly
grease all the surface of the flexible shaft approximately 10 mL
in every 18 hours.
IMPORTANT
Use genuine Urea based grease (Part number: X695-000070)
whose dropping point is 250
um based grease.
1. Draw out the flexible shaft assembly from the engine.
2. Draw out the flexible shaft from the flexible shaft assembly.
3. Use the Urea based grease.
4. When reassemble, it is preferable to fit the flexible shaft re-
versely.
1. Remove the plug (A) and drain screw (B) from the angle
transmission (C).
2. Add Lithium or Urea based grease into the transmission until
old grease is pushed out. If necessary, use a low pressure
pump.
3. Reinstall the drain screw and plug.

sively for nylon line cutting head and the other one used exclu-
sively for metal blade. When metal blade is used, use the
