Troy-Bilt 4-Cycle Gas Trimmer TB525 EC - Manual (Page 4)

INSTALL CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield on your unit is
not installed. Use only the instructions that apply to the type of shaft and
shield that your unit is equipped with.
INSTALLING THE CUTTING HEAD SHIELD
1. Place the cutting
attachment shield onto the
shaft housing. Be sure the
guard mounting bracket
slides into the slot on the
edge of the cutting shield.
Rotate the shield into
place, counterclockwise
(Fig. 1). The holes in the
guard mounting bracket
and cutting attachment
shield will line up.
2. From inside the cutting
attachment shield, push
the square bolt through
the hole until the threaded
end protrudes through the
guard mounting bracket
(Fig. 1).
3. Put the washer on the bolt,
then screw the wing nut
onto the bolt and tighten.
ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE
1. Loosen the bolt on the handle just enough
to move it (Fig. 2).
2. While holding the unit in the operating
position (Fig. 14), move the D-handle to the
location that provides the best grip.
3. Tighten the bolt until the D-handle is secure.
