Push Cap 311153001

This depth restrictor push cap fastens the depth restrictor wheel in your edger, which serves to prevent you from setting the cutting depth of your machine too low. It acts as a safety feature that limits how deep the blade can go into the ground. Typically located near the motor housing on the bottom part of the edger, a damaged push cap may show visible deformations and cause the restrictor wheel to slip during operation. Without a functioning push cap, you risk setting the cutting depth too low, potentially damaging the edger or underground structures. To remove a damaged push cap, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it off, starting at one edge and applying even pressure. Please note that this OEM replacement part does not include the depth restrictor wheel.
