Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands and feet, and

throw objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in

serious injury or death.

• Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.

• Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact the

ASSEMBLY

OPERATING YOUR NEW CUTTER

The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the

eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or

wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before staring any cutting machine and

while operating such a machine.

The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the

human ear. Ear protection is recommended.

OD45- Warning Serious Injury Decal

OD55- Danger- Triangle Decal

CAUTION!

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of

children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing

activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place where it cannot make a connection.

• All engines are filled with oil at the factory. Verify oil level and add if necessary before starting

engine. (See Engine Owner’s Manual)

• For proper operating procedures, Read pp. 4-7.

INTENDED USE

This is not a lawn mower. The Postmaster is designed to trim along fence rows, tree rows, etc.

The Postmaster has been designed to run offset to either side and also offset from the center of

the tow vehicle to provide additional cutting width.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Slide the throttle into the “STOP” position.

• Return unit to travel position.

INSTALLING STRING (Refer to OD63- String Diagram Decal)

• Use proper length string. Using a string too long for the unit will cause stalling and

unacceptable operation.

• Remove any built-up debris gathered in string holder.

• Fold string in half, creating a balanced loop.

• Place loop of string against outside of loop on trimmer head.

• Bring ends around and through the loop and over the string loop.

• Pull ends to tighten loop

• Cut string off evenly with outside diameter of the cover to protect fence posts and other

items being trimmed.

STARTING THE ENGINE

• Remove any built-up debris from engine.

• Remove trimmer from travel rest and assemble into desired position.

• Check oil & fuel.

• Prime engine as directed. Note: A warm engine may not need to be primed.

• Slide throttle into “FAST” position.

• Pull engine coil rope. Do not pull recklessly.

• Adjust throttle to desired engine RPM. For maximum results, operate in the full throttle

position.

PREPARING FOR FIRST USE

• Check engine crankcase for oil. Check with engine dipstick. Do not overfill. See engine

manual for proper oil level.

• Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Never fill tank in an enclosed area!

• Check to ensure string has been installed correctly.

• Start trimmer as directed above.

• Under supervision, allow strings to rotate and engine to idle for 5 minutes. This breaks-in

the engine and the belt.

• Stop engine.

OD63- String Diagram Decal

SLOPE OPERATION!

Use extra caution when mowing on slopes. Operate self-propelled units up

and down slopes. There is a significant risk of overturns when operating

across slopes. If you feel uneasy on a slope then do not mow it.

BEGIN TRIMMING

• Make sure area is clear of all bystanders.

• Make sure that all guards, belt guides, and the spark plug wire are properly attached.

• Start engine, setting desired engine speed. Note: This machine is designed to operate at

maximum engine speed.

• Start trimming in a low gear. Some bounce may occur when trimmer is returning into

position. Use caution.

BACKING THE UNIT

• See Transporting.

TRANSPORTING

• Stop engine and remove wire from spark plug.

• Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

• Place unit into travel position.

• This position is recommended while backing the unit.

•CUTTING HEIGHT

• There are five height settings.

• Stop engine.

• Place unit into travel mode to make adjustments.

• Pull the hairpins and clevis pins out and set both rollers at equal settings.

• Replace hardware.

TENSION ADJUSTMENT

• Spring return-tension should be increased before trimming dense-grass areas.

•Always stop engine while making adjustments.

• Place unit into travel position to make adjustments.

• Move snap hook on chain closer to spring to increase tension.

• Move snap hook to the end furthest from spring to lessen tension.

•Always have chain and spring attached at both ends.

HITCH OFFSET ADJUSTMENT

• Take unit out of travel position.

• Pull ball-lock-pin out of hitch, pivot hitch left or right into the desired offset.

• Replace pin securely, assuring that it locks into position.

• Offset to the opposite side by un-hooking chain connector on the roller bracket. Pivot deck

around to other side and re-attach to opposite roller bracket.

SUGGESTED PRACTICES

• Always operate engine at full throttle when cutting to assure the best cutting performance

and proper discharge of material.

• Offset unit to the right-hand side whenever possible (as shown). Debris is thrown away from

the operator.

• If grass is wet, allow it to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect, clean unit regularly.

• When cutting dense areas go slow. Some dense areas may need to be gone over twice.

• Do not operate trimmer if it vibrates abnormally. Excessive vibration is a sign of damage.

Stop the engine and safely check for damage. Repair as necessary.

• For best results, Do not insert cutting head more than halfway through the fence line.

TRIMMER MAINTENANCE & SERVICE

CAUTION!

SHUT OFF ENGINE AND REMOVE WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE

MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNIT.
