1. Check for excessive looseness The jabbing motions made by the Edge Styler makes the machine susceptible to jolting and jar ring After several hours of operation this could cause increased wear and tear on a number of moving or rotating parts This causes these parts to become loose which affects the functioning and life of the machine and can create a safety hazard for the operator Thus periodic checks for excessive looseness are necessary Parts undoubtedly subject to inspection are Looseness at the hinge of the blade arm Looseness at the coaxial shaft Looseness at the eccentric bearing Looseness at the blade carriage guide Looseness or damage to the pedal Looseness of the axles Au RWN zi For this perform the following checks Caution In order to perform these checks the motor should be switched off and the spark plug removed Also wear the appropriate safety gear Checking for looseness at the hinge of the blade arm To switch the blade arm from transport mode to operating mode turn it around a central axle In order to keep the rotation silent with no screeching the hinge was equipped with two large nylon axle bearings The nylon creates a lubricating effect and has a high toughness making it resistant to wear and tear Nevertheless these nylon axle bearings still may exhibit signs of looseness over time Convert the blade arm to trans

3. essential Tyre grip Considering the wheel drive is the key component ensuring that the cut is properly made at full length the grip of the tyres is es sential to the efficiency of the machine expressed in m hour If the tyres begin to slip then the machine will not move forward ELIET designed the tyre tread with studs so as to provide opti mal traction and minimal slipping It is important that the force of the tyre grip on the ground is greater than the resistance that must be overcome in order for the blade to cut through the soil As the tyre tread becomes caked in with soil the effect of the grip wears off thus it is necessary to regularly clean off the tyres Rain softens the ground which in turn reduces the amount of cutting resistance on the blade Nonetheless employing the machine on softer ground makes it more prone for the tyres to become caked in and lose grip Therefore it is highly rec ommended to wait until the grass has become dry If there is adequate grip yet the driving speed does not coincide with the resistance on the blade then this could also cause a problem Given that the blade moves on the left side of the machine the resistance upon it is effectively the same as a brake on the left wheel This triggers a differential balancing mechanism which aac GC ae ee sind GC aij clean wheel transfers excess traction over to the right wheel preventing the machine from dragging
