
Two people are required when setting the Trimmer Body to the
maintenance position. One person must steady the Trimmer as the other
installs the Bolt. Do not allow the Trimmer Body to go beyond vertical
and fall in the opposite direction without the Bolt in place as this could
cause injury to you or damage the Trimmer.
 Never transport the Trimmer in the “Maintenance” position. This could
damage the machine and is not covered by the Warranty.

Maintenance position
Many maintenance procedures can be performed easier by positioning the Trimmer in an upright “maintenance” position. This
position is for maintenance purposes only. Do not transport or operate the Trimmer in the upright position.
1. Remove the Bolt and Wing Nut that is holding the Trimmer in the trimming
operating positions.
2. Lift the Trimmer Body up to a vertical position. With the head of the Bolt
facing the Tractor, install the Bolt all the way into the transport hole of the 3-
Point Bracket (Figure 30).
3. Let the Trimmer Mounting Bracket rest against the Bolt to hold it in the
vertical (maintenance) position.
Disengage PTO, shut down the Tractor Engine, remove the Key, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, disconnect
the PTO shaft from the Tractor, then wait five minutes before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection on the
Trimmer.
