HS-1 & SO-1 Hedge Trimmer Rack use and installation instructions. IMPORTANT MUST READ!

Attach the protective rubber pad to sheath as shown in drawing using the four machine screws, washers and lock nuts provided. When attaching the top (horizontal) side of the pad, the screws and washers should be installed into the rubber pad first with the lock nut on the bottom side of the sheath. When attaching the front (vertical) side of the pad, the screws must be installed from inside the sheath, through the pad and then secured with the washers and lock nuts. Tighten screws and lock nuts to the point at which the rubber pad begins to compress. Do not over tighten. Attach sheath to upright (as shown) using the two 5/16" by 2" bolts and lock nuts provided. Install the plastic cap into the top end of upright. Attach the " I " shaped rubber pad to the upright above the sheath using the three nylon wire ties provided. Attach the upright to trailer using the two 5/16" by 2&1/2" bolts and lock nuts provided or the equivalent. Make certain when drilling the upright, to center the holes from left to right in the tubing. Depending on the width of the trimmer blade, it might be necessary to trim the slot in the rubber pad attached to the sheath. Replace rubber pads immediately when they are worn or damaged. This rack was designed to be used with or without the blade guards sometimes supplied with hedge trimmers. If used with the cover, make certain the cover fits tight enough so that it will not slide out the bottom of the sheath. When sliding a trimmer without a blade cover into the sheath you must align and hold the trimmer so that it slides into the sheath straight and does not catch the blade on any part of the sheath. To lock a trimmer in the rack, simply install a padlock onto the trimmer blade below the sheath. Some trimmers with shorter blades that do not extend below the bottom of the sheath, and are wide enough can be locked by installing a long shackle padlock or locking pin into the hole (and through the blade) in the lower right hand side of the sheath. Two holes at the top of the sheath are for attaching the stretch cord provided to secure trimmer in the sheath. Be sure the power head is supported and secured in a way as to not damage it, or the blade.
