CARE AND MAINTENANCE
7. Transmission Gears Lubrication
The transmission gears in the gear case need be
lubricated periodically with gear grease. Check
the gear case grease level about every 50 hours
of operation by removing the sealing screw on the
side of the case.
If no grease can be seen on the sides of the gear,
follow the steps below to fill with gear grease up to
3/4 capacity.
Do not completely fill the transmission gear case.
a. Hold the string trimmer attachment on its side
so that the sealing screw is facing upwards
(Fig. 7).
b. Use the multi-function wrench (I) to loosen and remove the sealing screw.
c. Use a grease syringe (not included) to inject some grease into the lubrication opening,
taking care not to exceed 3/4 capacity.
d. Tighten the sealing screw after injection.
Storage
Clean the tool thoroughly before storing it.
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, locked-up or up high, out of the reach of children.
Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
