Prior to Assembly
Before assembling, make sure you
have all the components required for a
complete unit. This unit consists of the
items shown in Figure 6.
Carefully inspect the engine unit for
damaged or loosen bolts. If you find
any damage or missing items, check
with your dealer.
IMPORTANT!
This unit is
equipped with a
0.86" (22mm)
wheel collar.
Wheel adapters
for 20mm and
25.4mm cut-off
wheels are
located in the
tool set. Before
mounting a
wheel, deter-
mine its arbor
diameter. If it is
necessary to
replace the
collar, remove the snap ring on the
arbor, install the correct size arbor
collar, and then replace the snap ring.
WARNING!
Use of the incorrect collar size
may lead to wheel failure and unit
failure that could result in serious
injury.
2. Make sure the ON-OFF switch is
Off and the engine is stopped.
3. Insert a hex wrench into the hole in
the belt guard to prevent the arbor
from turning. See Figure 7.

Dust and debris may accumulate
between the cylinder fins and can lead
to engine overheating. In order to
maintain efficient service, cylinder fins
should be cleaned once every month.
Checking the Drive Belt
The transmission belt tends to loosen
and wear after a period of operation
and should be checked and adjusted
regularly according the following
procedures. If the belt is worn, torn,
cracked, scratched or otherwise
damaged, replace it with a new one
immediately.
