Assembly
Assembling Engine and Drive
Shaft Assembly
The drive shaft, clutch drum housing and gearcase are
assembled. Attach the clutch drum housing to the
engine using the four M6 x 20 screws supplied with
the unit (Fig. 4).
Bullhorn Handle Installation
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage the
throttle cable and stop switch wires when you
remove the bullhorn handles from the
shipping carton.
1.
Loosen the four Phillips hex head screws on the
top of the clamp bracket (Fig. 5).
2.
Insert the left and right bullhorn handles into the
clamp bracket. Note that the bullhorn handle
with the throttle trigger and stop switch goes on
the right-hand side of the Brushcutter (Fig. 5).
3.
Adjust the bullhorn handles to the desired
position, then tighten the four Phillips hex head
screws (Fig. 5).
Connecting Stop Switch Wires
1.
Loosen the knob and remove the air cleaner
cover to access the stop switch wires (Fig. 6).
2.
Plug the stop switch wires into the matching
connectors from the engine. Note that wire
polarity is not important.
Connecting Throttle Cable
1.
With the air cleaner cover off, insert the throttle
cable through the cable adjuster sleeve on the
carburetor bracket. Make sure the end of the
cable housing is seated positively in the sleeve
(Figs. 7 and 8).
2.
Position the slotted fitting on the carburetor so
the recessed hole for the cable lug is away from
the cable adjuster sleeve (Fig. 7).
3.
Rotate the carburetor throttle cam clockwise and
slip the throttle cable through the slot in the
slotted fitting, making sure the cable lug drops
into the recessed hole (Figs. 7 and 8).
4.
Operate the throttle trigger a few times to make
sure that it works correctly (Fig. 15).
5.
Adjust the cable adjuster sleeve so the stop on
the carburetor throttle cam just contacts the
throttle stop when the throttle trigger is fully
depressed (Figs. 7 and 8).
6.
When the throttle cable is adjusted correctly,
tighten the locknut (Fig. 7).
