LUBRICATION: GEARCASE AND BLADES
The gearcase has a felt wick located at the blade opening. As the Hedge Trimmer is used, the grease within
gearcase becomes very soft. The reciprocating
blades constantly draw small amounts of
grease between the blade contact surfaces
for additional lubrication. If the gearcase is
not lubricated at the recommended intervals,
a gearcase failure will occur due to a lack of
GREASE FITTING FOR GEAR CASE
lubrication.
Gearcase failures due to improper maintenance are not covered by BAD BOY warranty.
The gearcase and blades should be lubricated after each 10 hours of use.
NOTE: If the Hedge Trimmer is used under severe conditions such as high ambient temperatures (above
75°F) or for extended continuous periods of operation, the gearcase and blades must be lubricated every
2 hours.
Lubricate the gearcase at the grease fitting with a good quality #2 lithium-base grease. Lubricate the
blades using a light #10 wt oil.
GENERAL CLEANING AND TIGHTENING
The Hedge Trimmer will provide maximum performance for many hours if it is maintained properly.
Good maintenance includes regular checking of all fasteners for correct tightness and cleaning of the
entire machine. Pitch and gum deposits should be removed from the cutting blades daily.
Adjustment of the cutting blade tension should be checked regularly. Refer to page 12 for instructions
to adjust cutting blades.
STORAGE
For long-term storage of the Hedge Trimmer, empty the fuel
tank into a suitable fuel storage container. Pump the primer
OIL
bulb on the carburetor until all fuel is discharged through the
clear fuel return hose. Run the engine to remove any fuel that
may remain in the carburetor.
Perform all regular maintenance procedures and any needed
repairs. Remove the spark plug and squirt a very small amount
of oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter cord once.
CAUTION: Oil may squirt out of the spark plug opening while pulling the starter cord. Protect your eyes
and keep your face away from the spark plug opening. Slowly pull the starter cord to bring the piston to
the top of the cylinder (TDC). Reinstall the spark plug. Liberally lubricated the blades with a light #10 wt oil.
Store the Hedge Trimmer in a dry place away from excessive heat, sparks, or open flame.
