8 Proper Housing Adjustments The correct blade housing adjustment is critical for proper trimmer operation. If the housing is too tight the trimmer may overheat. The motor-driven flex shaft and casing may be damaged, and parts life will be reduced. If the housing is adjusted too loose, it may cause rough operation and gear damage. Here's a procedure to help you get it right: Image 1. Loosen Blade Housing Right Tighten Blade Housing: Begin by threading both screws in the pinion cover. Then tighten the right cover screw. Next, secure the left cover screw then loosen the left screw a half turn to allow for blade and housing adjustment. Blade Adjustment: Gently pry the housing open (see Image 1) until the blade has a slight amount of side clearance in the housing in the direction of the arrow shown in Image 2 and the blade rotates freely. A slight amount of clearance is all that is needed. Finally, tighten both cover screws to the recommended torque and recheck the blade clearance and rotation. Left With the left screw loosened, gently pry the housing open if the blade is not moving freely. Image 2. Check blade for clearance and rotation. Recommended Torque: lb. in. (3, -,0 N-m) Important: Make sure the blade is free to move in the housing. If the blade does not move freely, it may cause the trimmer to perform poorly or overheat. Quantum Pinions The blade should turn freely with a slight amount of clearance in the direction shown by the arrow. Q350/Q360 Q Q620/Q Q750/Q850 Q880/Q Q1000~Q Q620A Angled Head Trimmer

9 Cover Wear Testing Simple test to determine the time to replace. Begin by making sure the cover is tightened securely that is, the cover retaining screws are tightened properly (very tight). Torque Limiting T-Handle Begin with a properly tightened cover using the Bettcher Torque Limiter lb. in (3, -,0 N-m) The best practice to secure the pinon cover and housing is to use a torque limiting T-handle tool (Bettcher Part ) to secure the housing quickly and properly. Apply gentle pressure, if the housing moves, the cover is worn. Torque Wrench Kit Part The cost of a T-handle torque limiter is about the same as a new pinion cover, so it makes sense to invest in this tool to ensure all Trimmer parts are properly assembled for maximum life and performance. Additionally, many maintenance pros find that using the T-handle torque limiter is faster, easier and more precise than using a straight blade screwdriver. Torque Limiting Kit Part Description Kit Torque Wrench Socket ¼ 6 pt Stecknuss 5/16 6 pt Extension ¼ x 3 long Preventing Cover Damage Using a straight-blade screwdriver, slowly apply pressure to the housing. If the housing moves easily without much pressure, the cover is worn. It should be replaced, as it can no longer secure the blade and housing and may become a safety issue in addition to running rough. If the blade housing does not move easily unless a lot of pressure is applied, then the cover is still good and has useful life. That's all there is to it! By using this simple test, you should improve Trimmer performance and lower maintenance costs.! Loosen First You may also view a video clip demonstrating these test procedures.

11 Driveline Driver Assembly Remove the Drive-end assembly When replacing a Quantum Driveline, the driver assembly may be removed and used on the new casing. To remove driver assembly: n n n n Hold the worn casing end in vise. Unscrew the drive end assembly, turning counterclockwise, using the wrench flats on the drive end assembly. Remove the washer and latch collar from casing. Discard the old casing, but reuse the driver assembly on the new casing. Use an adjustable wrench to remove the driver assembly from the casing. Driveline Latch Collar DRIVELINE Drive End Assembly Complete Washer Driver Tip Quantum Drive Shaft Tool Part Save money by reusing the driver end assembly. Assembling the Driver Assembly to the Casing n Slide casing latch collar and washer on to new casing end. n Clean threads of new casing and apply Loctite 22 Threadlocker. n Thread drive end assembly on to the new casing and tighten with a wrench while holding casing in hand. Caution: DO NOT hold the NEW casing in a vise or use pliers as damage will occur. It is not necessary to over-tighten this joint. Place the Drive Shaft Tool over the squareend of the driver shaft fits into the square hole of the tool. This is a left-hand thread, so turn clockwise to loosen. Driver Tip The Driver can now be replaced.
