Key
Features
BASE PLATE
- A full steel base plate,
stamped and formed, is the beginning of each and every Power Trim Edger. This
full base plate, unlike bolted straps or bent tubing, cradles the engine and
retards dirt and debris from reaching the engine area.
WHEELS -
All Power Trim Edgers come equipped with 7" x
1.5" full steel wheels and solid rubber tires. All wheels have back to back
hub industrial type ball bearings. Special neoprene seals are on all bearings to
keep dirt and moisture out.
Note: On
models using the 8" x 2.75" front wheel the tire is a 100 lb. load
series.
CUTTER HEAD
BEARING - Power Trim Edgers
employ an automotive water pump type cutter head bearing which is permanently
sealed to resist dirt and moisture. The bearing assembly is pressed fit and
recessed away from the blade to avoid seals being damaged from debris being
caught between blade and bearing. The bearings have lifetime lubrication and
never require any greasing.
BLADE -
All Edgers come fitted with a 10" x 2", .080
thickness, heavy duty spring steel blade. Blades are installed on the bearing
shaft sandwiched between two sets of washers - one set of heat treated hardened
steel for strength, one set of fiber slip washers for added safety.
NOTE: Use only Genuine Power Trim
replacement blades. Although many after market edger blades are available, Power Trim
cannot attest to the quality of any other blade but their own.
BELT TENSION SPRING -
All units employ a closely wound spring on the sidearm
to generate the same belt tension in all operating positions. This feature
increases belt life considerably.
BLADE TILTING LEVER -
Consists of a three piece 7 gauge cold rolled steel design. Locks into tapered
adjusting notches on the sidearm via a heavy duty torsion spring. Notches on the
sidearm are "V" tapered to compensate for wear (lever is under
constant tension pulling to bottom arc of "V") thus avoiding vibration
as wear occurs.
DIRT DEFLECTOR -
Heavy steel three piece rigid construction. Flap is made of reinforced rubber
and bolted to guard for maximum durability. Deflector travels with the sidearm
in all operating positions to insure maximum safety for the user.
SIDEARM MAIN PIVOT - The Power Trim's
sidearm is affixed to the main frame using a heat treated shoulder bolt which is
spring loaded to compensate for wear. This steel bolt is virtually impossible to
bend assuring proper alignment even after years of service.
LIFTING HANDLE
- On selected Briggs & Stratton models a steel
lifting handle with grip is installed to provide a safe hand hold for loading
and unloading.
FINISH -
All
Power Trim Edgers are powder coated with the finest baked urethane finish for
maximum protection against scratching and weather deterioration. All parts are
painted individually and then assembled thereby insuring no hidden unpainted
areas.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
- All steel heavy gauge metals and tubing. Handles are
arc welded to provide solid construction that resists fractures even under
extreme operating conditions. All units have the handle braced to the engine to
form a secure feel and reduce vibration. All hardware is nylock or whizlock type
to guard against backing off during use. All controls are spring loaded positive
locking. Manual disengagement clutch is standard on all models. Right down to an
all steel throttle control it is easy to see why Power Trim Edgers are "The
Professionals Choice".
