EGO ACB9500 (01) PDF Document

There are several important safety warnings to observe when handling and using the EGO ACB9500 replacement blades:

Blade Condition: A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break, and pieces of the damaged blade can become dangerous projectiles. Thrown objects can cause serious injury. Inspect the blade regularly and do not operate the cultivator with a worn or damaged blade.

Before Servicing: To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack from the power head and wait for all blades to stop before servicing, cleaning, changing add-on attachments, or when the product is not in use.

Handling the Blade: Always wear heavy gloves when installing or removing the blade or performing any maintenance on the blade. Be careful of the blade and protect your hands from being injured by the blade.

NOTICE: THE BLADES THAT HAVE TINES FACING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS MUST BE MOUNTED ON THE INSIDE, CLOSEST TO THE GEAR BOX.

1. Wear gloves.

2. Place the inner blade, stamped “L”, which has tines facing in both directions, to the left of the gear box. The stamped side with the L should face outward.

3. Place the outer blade, stamped “L”, (tines face one way only) on the same side. The stamped side with the L should face outward, with the outer sleeve against the inner blade.

4. To secure the blade to the drive shaft, insert the hitch pin into the locking hole-1. Fold the hitch pin flat against the blade.

5. Turn over the tool with the installed blade resting against the ground.

6. Place the inner blade stamped “R”, which has tines facing in both directions, to the right of the gear box. The stamped side with the R should face outward.

7. Place the outer blade, stamped “R”, (tines face one way only) on the same side. The stamped side with R should face outward, with the outer sleeve against the inner blade.

8. To secure the blade to the drive shaft, insert the hitch pin into the locking hole-1.

When tilling in a confined area or between rows, the cultivator may be used with only the inner blades installed.

1. Wear gloves and remove the two hitch pins to remove the two outer blades.

2. Insert the hitch pins into the locking hole-2 to secure the inner blades.

NOTICE: Do not force the blades on or off the drive shaft. If you experience difficulty when removing the blades, apply some penetrating oil on the shaft. When reinstalling the blades, make sure to clean and oil the drive shaft and the blades.
