The Weedwakka is installed in the same manner as a conventional steel blade, and has the same mounting hole diameter as the blade. 

  1) Removing the nylon cord head.

The Weedwakka can be fitted to straight shaft brushcutters without any adaptor (other than the spacing washer required for brushcutters with a 20mm hole in the blade. This washer is included in every pack). 

If you have a problem fitting the Weedwakka,the most likely cause is that, in removing the nylon cord head, the shaft in the centre of the head has been left on the brushcutter. This is a common problem, and has confused many people. 

The correct way to remove the nylon cord head is to grasp the entire head and rotate it clockwise. Do not dismantle the head. There is usually a hole in the top or side of the gearbox into which a pin can be inserted to prevent the shaft rotating. 

If you look at the shaft protruding from the gearbox, you will notice that the base of the shaft is square (or hexagonal). Using a pin to stop the shaft rotating, put a spanner on the square and turn it clockwise (it is held on with a left hand thread). The shaft can then be removed. Under the shaft there is generally a loose washer, which can be lifted off, revealing a round raised area (spigot) which locates the steel blade.

  2) Using the spacer washer (20 mm spigots only).

There is no problem fitting a Weedwakka on a straight shaft brushcutters with a 20mm spigot. A reducing washer is included in every Weedwakka pack.

The slide show below takes you through using the spacer washer.

  3) Installing the Weedwakka.

Once your old nylon cord or blade has been removed place the Weedwakka on this spigot, put the washer on top of it, and do up the left hand threaded nut. The nut should be in the brushcutter’s tool kit. If it has been lost,or not supplied with the machine, a replacement can easily be bought from your local dealer. 

The slide show below takes you through attaching either a Multicut or Heaviduty Weedwakka.

The diagrams below show a typical brushcutter head, with the nylon head removed and the Weedwakka positioned over the locating spigot. The only step remaining is to place the Weedwakka on the spigot, replace the clamping washer and tighten the left hand threaded nut. 

Please remember,when fitting the MultiCut, to place it on the spigot so that the open side of the links faces towards the gearbox (follow the instructions on the sticker).

  MULTICUT WEEDWAKKA

REPLACING MULTICUT BLADES

The Multicut WEEDWAKKA blades
can be removed and replaced in seconds
without the use of any tools.

Once the blades have become worn,
they may be turned over
and the other side used. 

NO FUSSING, NO TOOLS REQUIRED

TO REMOVE EACH BLADE : 

1. Hold the blade at right angles to the Weedwakka hub so that the long straight edge of the key slot is closest to the hub. (fig 1) 

2. Slide the blade along until the large hole in the key slot is under the securing washer, lift the blade off.(fig2) Tilt blade slightly if necessary. 

TO ATTACH A NEW BLADE:

Reverse the above procedure, remembering to position the blade so that the long straight side of the key slot is closest to the hub.
