Step 1: Begin by unboxing and organizing all the essential components. This includes the Geo Trencher Manual, a 19mm spanner for the bar, spare nose bearing and bolts, QR code for feedback, a box with two chains, ECHO manual, ECHO tool kit and spare parts, Geo Trencher bar, Geo Trencher safety Tube, and the Demo Saw.
Step 2: Unclip the water tube from the handle to the saw, and store it safely with the ECHO parts.
Step 3: Reduce tension on the saw head using the allen key provided.
Step 4: Remove two bolts with the 14mm spanner provided.

Step 6: Remove 14mm lock nuts from the new Geo Trencher adaptor and the 10mm bolts from the tube arm.
Step 7: Set the machine upright again.
Step 8: Attach the Geo Trencher adaptor to the engine using two bolts.
Step 9: Replace the belt over the pulley.
Step 10: Keep the two bolts recessed to the housing to slide the cover back on.
