TO USE CURB-HOPPING FEATURE
The adjustable front and right rear wheel
feature permit the edger/trimmer to be used
on an uneven surface such as a curb as
shown in figure below.
Stop the engine and disconnect the
spark plug wire from the spark plug.
Loosen the knob on the front wheel arm
bracket and slide the wheel to the best
position to clear the curb and balance the
unit.
• Tighten the knob securely.
• Using the curb height adjust lever, lower
the front wheel to a position that places
the edger/trimmer level with the left rear
wheel on the uneven curb surface.
• Loosen tee knob on the inside right rear
of the main frame that secures the wheel
support rod as shown below.
• Slide the rear wheel down until the
edger/trimmer is level when the left
wheel is on the curb.
• Tighten the knob securely.
= Reconnect the spark plug wire and start
the engine. The depth of cut adjustment

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
PRE-USE CHECK OF CONTROLS
All controls should be checked for proper
function before servicing or starting the
engine.
• Move the clutch lever into all six
positions in the selector plate. Make
sure the clutch lever snaps into all six
holes.
• Return the clutch lever to the rearmost
hole in the selector plate.
FILL/ADD OIL:
This edger/trimmer was shipped with a 20
ounce container of SAE30 motor oil. This
oil must be added to the.engine before
operating. Remove the oil fill cap-dipstick
and fill the crankcase to FULL line on
dipstick (20 ounces). Check frequently
when filling the crankcase. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
NOTE: Engine may already contain some
residual oil.
Tighten the fill cap-dipstick securely each
time you check the oil level.
OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Only use high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SG. Select
the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to
your expected operating temperature.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 1OW30,
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these
multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil
consumption when used above 32°F.
Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible engine damage from
running low on oil.
