IMPORTANT: Used oil is a hazardous waste. Place oil in a
sealed container and take to your local recycling center. Do

IMPORTANT: Only use a replacement belt from the manufacturer.
To order spare parts call us at 1-800-737-2112.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
2. To ease the replacement of a belt, remove the control rod
(See Figure 2). This will allow the blade arm to rotate
back creating slack in the belt.
