Lubricating the Gear Housing
See Figure 8.
The gear housing needs regular lubrication every 25 hours of
use to maximize the performance of this product. The time
interval shown is the maximum amount of time before the
service must be performed. Your operating conditions may
require the item to be serviced earlier.
Performing this service will require
RED ARMOR™
LUBRICANT grease or another commercially available
lithium-base grease, along with common hand tools. If you
are unsure of your ability to perform the service as indicated,
please take your unit to an authorized service center for
maintenance.
 Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.

When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed
easiest by using a sawing movement.
