Adding grease and lubricant
Important: Make sure that the surface of gear box is completely cold before
lubricating.
- The gearbox of the pole hedge trimmer should be greased every 25 working
hours. The grease hole locates under the bolt. Remove the bolt to lubricate. Add
approx. 3 g (4 cc) of lubricant to the point A of the gearbox and 5 g (7 cc) of the
lubricant to the point B respectively via the grease hole. Return the bolt after
lubrication. After filling correct amount of grease, grease will come out a bit from
the base of the blade during the first operation.
CAUTION: Observe greasing intervals and the amount of grease to be supplied.
Mechanical parts of the pole hedge trimmer may be damaged if grease
is not supplied at the prescribed intervals or if an insufficient amount of
grease is added.
