MAINTENANCE
Spark plug
The condition of the spark plug is affected by: � An incorrect carburettor setting. � An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or faulty oil). � A dirty air filter. These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrode that may result in malfunction or starting difficulties.
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.
0,5 mm
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly while idling always check the spark plug first before taking any other action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be changed after about one month of operation or earlier if necessary. NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.
Adjusting the edger's cutting depth
The cutting depth should be adjusted before starting work.
Angle gear
The angle gear is filled a sufficient quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the angle gear is filled to 3/4 with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease. Normally, the grease does not need to be changed except when repairs are carried out.
� Loosen the locking handle (A) and rotate the guard by moving the locking knob forwards or backwards. If the locking handle is moved forwards (from the machine) the cutting depth is increased. If the locking handle is moved backwards (towards the machine) the cutting depth is reduced. � Adjust the cutting depth. � Lock the locking handle.

WARNING! Always bear the machine on the right side of the body. Always wear protective glasses, long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when using the machine. Observe your surroundings, ensure people and animals do not come in the immediate vicinity or can be hit by thrown objects. Apply full throttle before the blade starts to work on the soil.
