REMOVING THE ADD-ONS
WARNING:
Read and understand operator's
manual for add-on prior to operation.
1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 3).
2. Press and hold the release button (Fig. 1).
3. While firmly holding the upper shaft housing, pull the add-on
straight out of the EZ-Link™ coupler (Fig. 2).
INSTALLING THE ADD-ONS
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury
and damage to the unit, shut unit off before
removing or installing add-ons.
NOTE: To make installing or removing the add-on easier,
place the unit on the ground or on a work bench.
1. Turn knob counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 3).
2. While firmly holding the add-on, push it straight into the EZ-
Link™ coupler (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Aligning the release button with the guide recess will
help installation (Fig. 1).
3. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten (Fig. 3).
CAUTION:
Lock the release button in the
primary hole (Fig. 2) and securely tighten the
knob before operating this unit.
CAUTION:
The snow thrower add-on with the
coupler system is to be used in the primary hole
only. Using the wrong hole could lead to
personal injury or damage to the unit.
HOLDING THE UNIT WITH EDGER ADD-ON
WARNING:
Always wear eye, hearing, foot
and body protection to reduce the risk of injury
when operating this unit.
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Figs. 4 & 5).
Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing.
• The right arm is slightly bent, and the hand is holding the shaft
grip.
• The left arm is straight, and the hand is holding the handle.
• The unit is at waist level.
• The edger wheel adjusted for proper cut depth and edger
positioned as shown in Figs. 4 or 5.
ADJUSTING EDGER CUTTING DEPTH
1. Loosen the adjustment knob above the wheel (Fig 6).
2. Slide the wheel to the desired position.
• Raising the wheel increases the cutting depth.
• Lowering the wheel decreases the cutting depth.
3. Tighten the adjustment knob securely.
TIPS FOR BEST EDGING RESULTS
• Keep the edging add-on perpendicular to the ground.
• Do not force the edger. Edge the first time at a lesser depth,
(No more than 1/2" depth cut per pass), then do the area again
with a deeper setting.
• Walk the edger at a slow, even pace.
• Check the blade condition. When it wears it becomes smaller,
reducing the cutting depth performance. Replace with a new
blade as required.
