REMOVAL
1. Inspect the blade brake and drive clutch wear (P. 3-16).
2. Remove the fan cover (P. 7 - 3
).
3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position, and disconnect the
spark plug cap. Tilt the mower on its right side to prevent:
• Fuel leakage.
• Engine oil from leaking out of the crankcase vent into
the air cleaner and onto the Roto-Stop assembly when
the mower is set back on its wheels.
4. Remove the blades.
5. Loosen the Roto-Stop cable lock nuts, and release the
cable at the throttle control.
6. Disconnect the Roto-Stop inner cable from the ball plate
by pushing the inner cable up the cable housing. If the
inner cable will not move freely, inspect the Roto-Stop
cable and lubricate or replace as necessary.
7. Wrap the tips of needle nose pliers with tape to
prevent damaging the clutch spring. Use needle nose
pliers and lift the spring hook off the upper anchor point;
then remove the spring.
During removal, avoid damaging the spring by using the
spring coils to lift the spring.
Make sure the spring contains a rubber tube inside of it.
This rubber tube is required for vibration dampening.
