SHIELD

SHIELD ATTACHMENT

The shield must be properly installed. The shield provides

partial protection from the risk of thrown objects to the

operator and others and is equipped with a line limiter

which cuts excess line to the proper length.

FAILURE TO INSTALL SHIELD IN POSITION

SHOWN CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY

TO THE OPERATOR. THE LENGTH OF

SHIELD MUST BE ALIGNED WITH LENGTH

OF DRIVE SHAFT HOUSING.

DIRECT WIDEST PART OF SHIELD

TOWARDS THE ENGINE.

CAUTION

THE LINE LIMITER IS LOCATED ON

UNDERSIDE OF SHIELD AND HAS A KNIFE

EDGE THAT IS SHARP AND CAN CUT YOU.

NOTE:

1. Match the key (raised area) on the

shield with “V” slot on drive shaft

housing.

NOTE:

Rest the bottom of shield on top of

the shoulder (not the dust cup) of

drive shaft housing.

2. Install shield bracket and screws as

shown.

NOTE:

It is easier to start the screws with a

screwdriver and finish tightening

with a wrench.

3. Tighten screws evenly and securely.

It is possible that a small space will be left

between the bracket and shield when the screws

are fully tightened.
