Drive tube

A 102 mm (4 in) longer shaft will be installed in mo-
del FS 75 from machine number X 36 865 750 in

order to improve handling.                                                                1
The original and new versions of the drive tube (1),

flexible liner (2) and flexible drive shaft (3) are only                                                      3

Models FS 75 with short shaft and FS 72 use the
same drive shaft. This shaft remains available as a
spare.

In order to standardize replacement parts, the dri-
ve tube 4133 710 7100 for model FS 72 will also
be supplied as a replacement part for short-shaft

FS 75 brushcutters. It will come with a drilling tem-

plate (4).

Drive tubes without a drilling template can be dril-
led according to the following instructions and

used for model FS 75 (short).

                                                                          4
