ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

Brush Cutter & Grass Trimmer Assembly

When assembling this machine, please follow the instructions for assembly steps.

Mounting the rod:

- Pull out the stop pin (1) and push the lower part

of the rod (2) right down until the stop pin (1)

clicks into the hole (3) in the rod. This is easier

to do if you rotate the bottom of the rod (2)

slightly in both directions. The pin (1) is in place

when it is completely lodged in the hole.

- Once inserted, tighten the knob (4) securely

Align the lower handle (3), cover (2) and the upper

handle(4) on the tube, screw the knob(5) till the handle

is tightly fixed.

Please see picture below and fit the belt accordingly.

Stretch the belt to adjust, so it fits as outlined below.

You can alter the height of the belt through the

adjuster as below picture shows, and then fit the

belt to the machine through the hook.

Assemble the safe guard.

Assemble the safe guard. Fix the guard(1) to the

angle transmission(2) by two screws(3) tightening

between the fixed board(4) and protection guard

under cover(5).

Never start the motor with the carry strap

attached to the machine!

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

Brush Cutter & Grass Trimmer Assembly

Assemble the cutting head

1. Release the nut. Line up the two holes of flange and

shield, use one hex kep to hold the flange as below

and turn the socket wrench clockwise, the nut will be

released

2. Fit the Nylon cutting head. Remove another shield

after release the nuts as picture showing. Still hold the

flange, take the Nylon cutting head on the shaft and

rotate counter-clockwise, the Nylon cutting head is

fitted.

3. Release the Nylon cutting head. Use screw driver to

hold flange and then rotate the Nylon cutting head

clockwise, it will be replaced.

Assemble the cutting head

1. Keep hex key holding on the flange then release the

nuts as picture showing, then put the blade, holder

B, cover and left nut according to priority as below

picture.

Note:

the blade rotation direction needs be same

as below picture. Use screw driver to hold flange

and tighten nut counter-clockwise, ensure the nut is

tightened enough.

2. Use screw driver to hold flange and release nut, the

blade can be took off.

Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories and

attachments. Failure to do so can cause poor performance, possible injury

and may void your warranty. Never use the machine without the guard

assembled!

Please make sure the cutting head has been assembled correctly before use!

Note:

The packaging material is made of recycle materials. Dispose of

packaging materials in accordance with regulations.

Pole Saw Assembly

Mounting the Tool

Put the lower shaft (2) into the shaft coupling and

concurrently pull out the locking pin (1). Slide the

lower shaft in as far as it will go and let go of the

locking pin. The locking pin must engage into the

opening (3) located laterally in the lower shaft. Of

necessary, slightly move the lower shaft to-and-

fro until the locking pin safely locks in place. Then

tighten the knob (4).

Mounting the Bar and Chain

1. Unscrew nut and take off the sporcket cover

2. Turn tensioning screw (1) anticlockwise until the

tensioning nut (2) butts against the left.

The chain is very sharp – wear work

gloves to protect hands from cuts.

3. Fit the chain – start at the bar nose.

4. Fit guide bar over the stud (3). Engage peg of

ten-sioner slide in locating hole (4) – place the chain

over sprocket (5) at the same time.

5. Now turn tensioning screw (1) clockwise until

there is very little chain sag on the underside of the

bar – and the drive link tangs are located in the bar

groove.

6. Refit the sprocket cover and screw on the nut

tightly enough.

Tensioning the Saw Chain

Retensioning during cutting work:

• Shut off the engine and then slacken the nut.

• Hold the bar nose up.

• Use screwdriver to turn the tensioning screw

(1) clock-wise until chain fits snugly against the

underside of the bar.

• Tighten down the nut firmly.

A new chain has to be retensioned more often than one that has been in use for some

time – check chain tension frequently.

Checking Chain Tension

Shut down the engine.

• Wear work gloves to protect hands.

• Chain must fit snugly against the underside of the bar bar by hand.

• If necessary, retension the chain.

Filling Chain Oil Tank

A full chain oil tank is sufficient for only half a tankful of fuel. Check the oil level regularly

during cutting work. Never allow the oil tank to run dry!

Thoroughly clean the filler cap and area around it

so that no dirt can fall into the tank.

Position the unit so that the filler cap faces up.

If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the

reason may be a problem in the oil supply system:

Check chain lubrication, clean the oil ways,

contact your servicing deal-er for assistance if

necessary.

Checking Chain Lubrication

The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil.

Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the tank before starting

work.

Recommended fuels

• Use only a mixture of normal unleaded petrol and 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture

as indicated on the fuel mixing table.

• Start the machine at least 3 metres away from the refuelling site to avoid the possible risk

of fire.

• Do not smoke whilst refuelling or working with the machine.

• Do not use the powerhead near inflammable liquids or gases. This could result in an

explosion and/or fire.

• Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil into a container. Then shake the

container well.

NOTE: Product may need to be re-primed if it has run out of fuel.

Fuelling Procedures

Cheetah recommends the use of 2-stroke oil (Cheetah Formula V or

Valvoline power armour) at 50:1 fuel to oil ratio only.

The use of other oils and or ratios will affect the engine lubrication, which

may cause engine damage and void engine manufacturer's warranty.

Do not use a fuel mixture which has been kept for longer than 90 days, it

may damage the unit.

Only use containers designed and approved for the purpose to transport

and store fuel.
