■ MOUNTING ENGINE (SE1) 1. Push the driveshaft housing toward the clutch housing and rotate it by hand to check that the driveshaft is engaged with the gears. 2. Insert the driveshaft housing into the clutch housing until it bottoms, and align the positioning holes on the clutch housing and the shaft tube and install the screw.
14 6. Set up (EX2-BC only) EX2-BC SE2 ■ INSTALLING DEBRIS GUARD • Put the debris guard on the gear box, attach it with the 2 screws and hardware provided.
6. Set up (EX-LRT only) EX-LRT SE1 ■ ATTACHING THE TRIMMING MECHANISM (SE1) 1. Remove the screw screwed into the end of the trimming mechanism. 2. Insert the end of the trimming mechanism into the main pipe.

20 7. Fuel and chain oil again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormal lean mixture.

9. Maintenance (EX-PS only) The bar rail should always be a square. Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
42 9. Maintenance (EX-PS only) After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated. (MA7) Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of kickback or tie-strap breakage.
9. Maintenance (EX-HE only) ■ GEAR CASE • The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithium-based grease in the gear case. At every 20 hours of use, supply the gear case with new grease. • Remove the cutter holders before installing new grease to arrange for old grease to exit.
