MAINTENANCE
Two-part shaft
The end of the drive axle in
the lower shaft should be
lubricated with grease every
30 hours. There is a risk that
the drive axle ends (splined
coupling) on two-part shafts
jam if they are not lubricated
regularly.
Lubricating the flexible drive axle
Inside the edger's drive shaft is
a flexible drive axle. The
flexible drive axle should be
regularly lubricated after 30
hours of operation. Loosen
the two screws on the angle
gear and remove it. The
flexible drive axle is easily
removed from the shaft by
taking a firm grip on the axle
end. Lubricate the flexible
drive axle over its entire
length and reinsert it in the
shaft. Turn the axle while
inserting it so that it correctly
engages in the clutch. Replace
the angle gear on the drive
axle shaft and tighten the two
screws.
