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.
