Unfortunately the Powerspade isn't one of the Norlett manuals that we have on the main site

but if you're looking to do some maintenenance on it, are any of the YouTube videos on the subject of any use?

These machines are very simple- the gearhead is directly driven by the engine and on the powerspade is rivetted so zero maintenance, all you need is a manual for the briggs and stratton engine.
I have found that my earlier norlett versatiller mkV (essentially the same machine with an aspera engine and heavier gearhead)
works best when you walk backwards and leaves nice furrows and no footprints, yes they are great little machines and do a really good job.
