Are you looking to replace the pad on your Clarke 7R Edger? Watch the video above or read the steps outlined below.

• Use a large screwdriver to secure the vacuum fan by placing the screwdriver into the fan.
• Use a spanner wrench to loosen the pad. Tap the spanner wrench counter-clockwise because the pad has a right-handed thread. A couple of quick hits to the spanner wrench should free the pad to be spun off.
• On the 7R Edger you have to be careful not to damage the pinion gear. The pinion gear is a left-handed thread. If you place a lot of pressure on the pad to turn it off you can accidentally take off the pinion gear and you will not be able to remove the pad.
• Install the new pad by rotating it clockwise.
• Use a board to adjust the casters. The 7R Edger casters are independent of each other. This means you must adjust the right and left casters to be level.
• Once the caster adjustment has been finished, you must dress the pad on medium grit sandpaper. New edger pads are factory cut on the right angle, but the pad must still be dressed to the machine.
