ASSEMBLY OF ENGINE AND DRIVE SHAFT
CAUTION : Before performing any work on the brush
cutter, always switch off the motor and pull the
spark plug connectors off the spark plug.
Beware of hot engine pars and sharp blade
edges.
Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION : Start the brush cutter only after having as-
sembled it completely.
1. Joining flexible pipe with engine and pipe case holder
Insert on end of a flexible pipe (1) into a clutch housing (2) on
an engine until it locks with a slight "click" noise.
Insert the other end of the flexible pipe into a pipe case (3)
holder of a brush cutter until it locks.
Each end of the flexible pipe is interchangeable.
Make sure that a squsre end of a flexible shaft fits into the joint
of a drive shaft.
CAUTION : If you have difficulty to insert the flexible pipe
properly, the square end of the flexible shaft
may not fit the drive shaft joint. Do not force to
push to avoid damage on the flexible shaft end.
Repeat the same procedure again until flexible
shaft and pipe fit properly.
2. Mounting of control cable
– Remove the air cleaner cover.
– Place the control cable (4) in the adjusting bolt (5), and shift the
swivel (6) so that the cable will be put in the swivel groove. At
this time, the round-hole side of the swivel will be oriented
toward the inner wire end-metal fitting.
– Release the swivel, and confirm that the inner wire-end metal
fitting will be placed in the hole.
– Mount the air cleaner cover.
