Section 4 - REPAIR & ADJUSTMENTS 

 

WARNING 

DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or 
service with engine and blade running. STOP 
engine and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and 
secure away from spark plug. Engine and 
components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow 
sufficient time for all components to cool. 

 

3. Slide driven disc assembly over to 1/8” from 
outside edge of drive disc. Maintaining the 1/8” 
measurement, remove any misalignment from the 
transfer rod linkage and the driven disc assembly 
anchor point. This can be done by loosening nut and 
rotating the transfer rod ball joint clockwise on the 
transfer rod until alignment with the driven disc 
assembly anchor point is achieved. Retighten ball 
joint nut. Insert ball joint into anchor point and reinstall 
the connector hex nut and tighten securely. See 
Figure 4.9. Move ground speed control to the first 
speed position, then back to the sixth speed position. 
Recheck the 1/8” measurement described previously.  
Reinstall driven disc spring to driven disc assembly.

4.3.4.  Replacing Driven Disc Rubber Ring 
If the rubber ring is badly chunked or worn down to 
within 1/16” of the metal rim of the driven disc hub, 
it must be replaced.  Install new rubber ring as 
follows: 
1.  Using a small flat blade screwdriver, free the 
clip from the transfer rod. Then remove the 
transfer rod from the clip and the speed control rod. 
See Figure 4.10.
