4.1 EQUIPMENT AND PARTS
INSPECTION
Remove equipment and parts from the packing box and
inspect for possible shipping damage. You should have
the following items:
• Upper and lower handle
• Pre-assembled chassis and engine
• Loose parts bag
• Reel assembly (if ordered with unit)
4.2 REEL INSTALLATION
1. Remove the belt guards and tilt the unit back to allow
access to the underside of the chassis.
CAUTION
!
Block the unit as required to prevent it from
falling accidentally.
2. Loosen the reel clamps and pivot down and away
from chassis. With the pulley end toward the engine
side of unit, set the reel into place against the
chassis. Bearing guides on the reel will provide
correct alignment. See Figure 2.
