Edger Assembly

NOTE: Refer to Figure 1-3 when following steps below:

1. Install the end of the splined shaft and tube containing the small hole into the

gearbox housing. Align the shaft and tube.

2. Push tube into the gearbox housing and align tube hole to threaded hole in housing.

(See Fig. 1)

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, install screw into threaded housing hole until the screw’s

head contacts the housing surface. Do not overtighten. (See Fig. 2)

4. Using the provided hex wrench and a 10 mm or adjustable wrench, tighen clamp

screw to secure the tube to the gearbox housing. (See Fig. 3)

How to Install the Edger Attachment

NOTE: Refer to Figure 4-6 when following steps below:

1. Install the Edger attachment into the clutch housing with the metal saddle engaging

the clutch housing. If the unit will not fully insert into the housing opening, turn the

edger blade slightly by hand. This will help align the shaft-to-engine splines.

(See Fig. 4-5)

2. Screw the camlock inward and rotate the handle to clamp the tube to the housing.

Try to rotate the tube within the housing. If you can rotate the tube at all, unlock the

camlock handle and screw inward an additional one half turn. Rotate the handle to

clamp the tube. Recheck the tube tightness and repeat if necessary. (See Fig. 5)

3. Depress the finger control on the right upper handle. By depressing the finger control,

the head becomes unlocked and can be swiveled up to 30 degrees. Upon release of

the finger control, a pin will lock the Edger into the desired position. Swiveling the

Edger to the right, positions the Edger to the (right) side and allows the blade

to cut straight in the direction of travel. (See Fig. 6)
