DEPTH CONTROL ADJUSTMENT The engagement handle controls the clutching and declutching of the belt. To declutch, the handle is pulled back toward the operator. The farther forward the handle is pushed, the deeper the cut. To move the engagement handle, first move it to the left so the handle is out of the notch. See figure 12. NOTE If belt slips when engagement handle is in the engaged position, lengthen the clutch rod by turning the rod adjustment link. Refer to figure 10. FIGURE 12 8 BLADE PLANE ADJUSTMENT The cutting blade can be adjusted to eight positions from vertical to horizontal. To adjust, release the adjustment lever on the pivot bracket and rotate the >indle housing. Place adjustment lever in notch ^esired. See figure 13. When the blade is adjusted toward the horizontal position, the front wheels must also be adjusted. Remove the two hairpin clips and slide the spacer and wheel to the right as shown in figure 14. Reinsert the hairpin clips. NOTE If the wheels are not adjusted, the blade will hit the left front wheel, causing the belt to slip. Hairpin Clips Become familiar with all the controls and adjustments before operating the edger so you can adjust it easily to a variety of cutting and trimming conditions. While the engine is running, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS except with the throttle control. OPERATION 1. Fill the crankcase with oil using a high quality detergent oil -classified "For Service MS." Nothing should be added to the recommended oil. SUMMER - Use SAE 30. WINTER -(Below 40°F.) Use SAE 5W-20 or SAE 10W. Place the engine level. Remove filler plug. FILL THE OIL SUMP TO POINT OF OVERFLOW. Pour slowly. See figure 15. 2. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free, low lead, or regular grade leaded gasoline. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE. 3. Move the engagement handle (depth control) back as far as it will go and place in the last notch. See figure 12. 4. Set the throttle control in "START” position. 5. Pull the choke knob out. NOTE A warm engine may not require choking. 6. Grasp the starter handle and pul! out the cord rapidly. Return it slowly to the engine. If the engine does not start after two pulls, move the throttle control to the "FAST" position. 7. After engine starts, push choke knob in gradually. To stop engine, move throttle control to "STOP" position. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended. 9 I A CAUTION Rotating cutting blade may throw objects causing personal injury. Always wear safety glasses or some other suitable eye protection at all times the engine is running. Keep area clear of bystanders and do not operate without guards in place. OPERATING THE EDGER 1.
