Attaching the Flame Blade Accessory

Tools Needed:

7⁄16

" socket or wrench and a Phillips screwdriver

1. 

Remove the 

1⁄4

"-20 nuts 

A

 and 

1⁄4

" oversize 

washers 

B

 from the 

1⁄4

"-20 carriage bolts 

C

 protruding through the bottom panel 

D

 

of the flame blade.

2. 

Open up space at back of the two pan-
els—clam shell style—as shown, pivoting 
on the front screws 

E

.

3. 

Insert the Pyroweeder burners 

F

 through 

the cutouts 

G

 in the top and bottom 

panels as shown. Keep about 1" of the 
burner outside of the flame blade. 

H

4. 

Close the two panels around the burners 
so that the carriage bolts 

C

 are again 

protruding through the bottom panel 

D

.

5. 

Re-attach the nuts 

A

 and washers 

B

 

to the carriage bolts 

C

 and tighten just 

enough so that the flame blade is securely 
attached to the burners.

6. 

Tighten the front screws 

E

About 1" out

It is important that you ignite the propane flowing 

into the flame blade as soon as possible after you 

open the control valve. Propane can accumulate in 

and around the blade and will produce a startling 

pop if you are slow to ignite it. A torch or lighter 

work best.

CAUTION

Positioner Installation Location

Axle Positions

Below is shown the possible axle positions. Axle position adjustment allows for 

change in 

height

 and 

front-to-back balance

 of the Pyroweeder. Swap left and right axles for some 

of the illustrated positions. (Ships in position 

L2

.) Try positions 

L1

 or 

H1

 when using the 

Flame Blade. In positions 

L3

 and 

H3

 the Pyroweeder will tend to be more front heavy 

which some may prefer.
