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 dam-
aged, 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:
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.
Recommended Torque: 30 - 35 lb. in. (3,4 - 4,0 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.
With the left screw loosened, gently
pry the housing open if the blade is
not moving freely.
The blade should turn freely with a slight
amount of clearance in the direction
shown by the arrow.

Proper Housing Adjustments
TRIMMER SYSTEM

Begin by making sure the cover is tightened securely … that is,
the cover retaining screws are tightened properly (very tight).
The “best practice” to secure the pinon cover and housing is to
use a torque limiting T-handle tool (Bettcher Part #183898) to
secure the housing quickly and properly.
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.
You may also view a video clip demonstrating these test procedures.
To view the video go to:
Torque Limiting T-Handle
4
Begin with a properly
tightened cover using the
Bettcher Torque Limiter
30 - 35 lb. in (3,4 - 4,0 N-m)
Apply gentle pressure, if the
housing moves, the cover is worn.
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.

Threadlocker.
nThread 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.
