GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this Edger does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value "

tain the Edger as instructed in this manual.
The above chart is provided to assist the

the engine is warm.

LUBRICATION
• After each 25 hours of use of your Edger,
apply light machine oil to all moving
parts, particularly the wheels.
• We recommend that the oil in the engine
crankcase be changed after the first
2 hours of operation and after each 25
hours of use thereafter.
NOTE: The quill assembly bearings are
factory sealed and will require no lubrica-
tion.
• Reconnect the spark plug wire on the
spark plug.
