Mounting the Deflector
N Slide the deflector (1) onto the drive 
tube (2) until distance "a" is 100 mm 
(4 in).
N Line up the deflector on the drive 
tube so that the machine support on 
the powerhead and the longer part 
of the deflector point up.
N Tighten down the clamp screws (3) 
firmly.
WARNING
Check that the deflector is secure – it 
must not be possible to rotate it on the 
drive tube.
Mounting the Gearbox
N Apply a mark (with pencil or felt-tip 
pen) at distance A (50 mm/2 in) 
from the end of the drive tube.
N Loosen the clamp screws (4) on the 
gearbox – do not remove them.
N Push the gearbox (5) onto the drive 
tube (2) – turn the gearbox back and 
forth as necessary until the housing 
reaches or covers the mark.
N Line up the gearbox on the drive 
tube so that the machine support on 
the engine points down and the 
rotor blades are vertical – parallel 
with the deflector.
N Tighten down the clamp screws (4) 
on the gearbox firmly.
WARNING
It must not be possible to rotate the 
gearbox on the drive tube.
Adjusting the Loop Handle
N Loosen the screws on the loop 
handle.
N Go to "Mounting the Loop Handle".
Mounting the Rotor Blades
Take care not to lose the two washers 
on the gearbox output shaft.
N Arrange the blades in the order they 
will be fitted on the shaft, noting the 
following points:
Left-hand and right-hand blades are 
different. The direction of rotation is 
marked with arrows on the gearbox and 
blades.
N Rotate the inner right-hand 
blade (6) on the shaft until it can be 
pushed into position – check the 
direction of rotation again (arrows).
The hub of the inner blade is larger than 
that of the outer blade.
