Assembly
WARNING! Do not attempt to start the engine until all assembly steps are complete, and
you have ADDED GAS AND OIL to the engine.
Tools & Supplies Needed:
• flat head screwdriver
• 1/2" and 3/8" wrenches, adjustable
wrench, or socket set
• 7/16" wrench (Commercial Model)
• pliers
• SAE30 High Detergent motor oil
• funnel (preferably with filter)
• unleaded gasoline
Step 1: Install the Axle
1. Start with the orange housing upside
down. Leave the packaging on the
front end in place to balance the
machine during assembly.
2. Place the black nylon axle washer
over the axle stud at the center back
of the housing (Figure 2).
3. Insert the axle through the slot in the
outside of the housing so the plate
faces the axle stud (Figures 2 & 3).
4. Center the axle and slide the hole in
the notched plate over the stud so that
it rests flush against the nylon
washer. Be sure the axle is seated on
the axle stud solidly (Figure 3).
5. Screw a 5/16" lock nut onto the axle
stud using a 1/2" wrench or socket.
Tighten it until there is resistance, then
back off 1/2 turn. [If the bolt is too
tight, it will be hard to operate the
Parallel Trimming Action (PTA
™
)
Feature.]
