1. This hedge trimmer is supplied
fully assembled. To make sure the
unit operates correctly, check the
throttle lever:
—the throttle lever should operate
smoothly without binding.
—the throttle lever should have
about 1/4-inch (5-10mm) free play
when the engine is not running.
See Figure 5.

2. If free play adjustment is required,
loosen the two 10mm throttle cable
nuts at the throttle cable bracket.
3. Adjust the throttle cable nuts until
you achieve correct throttle free
play. See Figure 6.
4. When 1/4-inch (5-10mm) free play
is achieved, tighten the two 10mm
throttle cable nuts. When the
throttle cable is correctly adjusted,
and the throttle trigger is fully
depressed (full throttle position),
the throttle should contact the full
throttle stop. See Figure 7.

MAINTENANCE
Gearcase Lubrication Schedule
CAUTION!
Over-lubricating may cause the
gearcase to run slower than
normal, and may also cause
leakage from excess grease.
Every 20 Hours
Connect a grease gun to the grease
fitting on the left side of the gearcase.
Top off the gearcase grease level by
adding a high quality lithium-based
grease. Three pumps of the grease
gun handle should be adequate. See
Figure 22. DO NOT OVERFILL THE
GEARCASE!
Every 50 Hours
(or before long-term storage)
Remove the gearcase cover. Use
solvent and a soft brush to remove all
old grease from the gearcase. See
Figure 23. To refill, hand-pack the
gearcase with approximately 40–50
grams of high quality lithium-based
grease (50–70% of capacity). DO NOT
OVERFILL!
