Flexible Drive Shaft
Maintenance
Maintenance Interval
The Edger uses a flexible drive shaft inside the drive
shaft tube. The flexible drive shaft should be
lubricated after each 30 hours of use.
Flexible Drive Shaft Lubrication
1.
Loosen the two Phillips hex head screws holding
the gearcase to the drive shaft tube and carefully
remove the gearcase from the drive shaft tube
(Fig. 24).
2.
Grip the end of the flexible drive shaft and
remove it from the drive shaft tube (Fig. 24).
3.
Lubricate the flexible drive shaft with a
high-quality #2 lithium-base bearing lube
(Fig. 24).
4.
Reinstall the flexible drive shaft into the drive
shaft tube. Twist the flexible drive shaft as you
insert it into the tube to ensure that it seats into
the clutch drum (Fig. 24).
5.
Reinstall the gearcase onto the drive shaft tube,
then tighten the two Phillips hex head screws
(Fig. 24).

General Cleaning and
Tightening
POTENTIAL HAZARD
When engine is running, cutting blade is
rotating and other parts are moving.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with rotating cutting blade or
other moving parts could cause serious
personal injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always turn off your Edger before you
clean or perform any maintenance on it.
The Toro Edger will provide maximum performance
for many, many hours if it is maintained properly.
Good maintenance includes regular checking of all
fasteners for correct tightness, and cleaning the entire
machine.
Storage
For long-term storage of the Edger (Fig. 25):
1.
Empty the fuel tank into a suitable fuel storage
container.
2.
Pump the primer bulb on the carburetor until all
fuel is discharged through the clear fuel return
hose.
3.
Run the engine to remove any fuel that may
remain in the carburetor.
4.
Perform all regular maintenance procedures and
any needed repairs.
