SAFETY NOTE: Failure to follow this procedure will result in oil leaking from the carburetor saturating the

air filter, making it very hard to start the edger and requiring the air filter to be replaced.

5. Rotate the blade plate and visually inspect each of the blade tips to ensure they are undamaged, sharp and securely

tighten to the blade plate. If the blade tip is damaged, the edger will vibrate and you will get an uneven finish on the ice. Even

more important, a loose or damaged blade tip could seperate from the blade plate and cause serious injury or damage.

SAFETY NOTE: Most blade damage is caused by hitting screws in the dasher boards or ice surface

entrance threshholds.

6. When a blade needs replacement, first undo the four bolts holding the blade plate in place.

7. On a work surface loosen the two bolts holding the blade tip to the blade plate.

Remove the damaged tip and replace it with a new blade tip, making sure to position it correctly on the plate before

tightening the holding bolts to a maximum 11 ft. lbs of torque.

8. Using a straight edge along the opening in the cutting side of the edger, adjust the blade tips in or out along the

slotted guides until they are 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm) from the straight edge. Hand tighten and check clearance. Positioning

the blade tip beyond the blade guard casing will cause damage to both the blade tip and the boards. To maintain the

consistent edging, make sure the blade tips are the same distance from the outer edge of the blade guard casing. To double

check, measure an existing undamaged blade for the proper measurement and adjust the new blade accordingly.

9. On the eight blade plate, we recommend every second blade be inset by moving it to the back of the slide groove.

The alternate blade tips are positioned correctly by measuring from the outer edge of the blade guard casing to the tip of the

blade. It should be 1/8” inside the edge. When the blades are inspected and replaced if necessary, re-attach the blade plate

with the four bolts making sure to tighten to a maximum 11 ft. lbs. of torque on the grade 8 bolts.

10. Refill the oil using 10W/30 oil

11. Reconnect the spark plug wire.

12. With the assistance of a second person lift the edger off the workbench and place it back onto the floor.
