ASSEMBLY

Insert the short tab (the one without a hole) on the mount bracket into the slot on the cutting head shield. Insert the bolt on the cutting head shield into the hole on the mount bracket.

Place the washer and wing nut onto the bolt. Tighten the wing nut securely.

Push the lower shaft housing into the coupler. The holes on the lower shaft housing should align with the holes on the coupler. NOTE: If the holes do not align, remove the lower shaft housing, rotate the cutting head slightly (1/8th turn), and repeat this step.

Insert the screws (x2) into the aligned holes. Tighten the screws securely with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Push the handle down onto the upper shaft housing. Make sure the hex hole faces left. Insert the bolt into the hex hole. Place the washer onto the bolt. Screw the wing nut onto the bolt, but do not tighten it completely.

Move the handle to a comfortable location. Make sure the handle is positioned beyond the end of the safety label. Tighten the wing nut until the handle is secure.

Mix thoroughly in a separate fuel can:
3.2 fl. oz. of 2-cycle engine oil
1 gallon of fresh unleaded gasoline (less than 30 days old)
