REMOVE CLUTCH AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Remove clutch and electrical box cover.
2.
Disconnect the power lead coming from the engine
to the electrical box and feed it through the back of
the electrical box.
3.
Using a 1/2” wrench along with a 1/2” socket
remove the four bolts attaching the engine to the
frame.
4.
Remove the engine from the frame and set it on
your work bench so the clutch face is facing you.
1.
Apply Anti-seize lubricant to the pinion shaft
coming out of the gearbox.
2.
Slide new clutch field over pinion shaft lining up
holes for the Phillips head screws located at the top
(indicated by a square tab) and bottom of the field.
3.
Feed the black clutch wires into electrical box &
plug into matching wires from the control board.
4.
Install the new zip-tie (comes with the clutch
replacement kit) to the wire mount, keeping the
wires from the path of the clutch.
5.
Apply blue Lock-tite to the screws and reinstall into
the gearbox.
5.
Using a small Phillips head screwdriver remove
the three screws holding the clutch face to the
clutch mount.
6.
Disconnect two clutch leads from electrical board
leads. Carefully cut the small Zip-tie holding the
clutch wires to the gear housing.
7.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two
Phillips head screws holding the clutch field to the
gear housing.
8. Pull the clutch field off of the pinion gear.
6.
Mount the clutch face to the clutch mount. Use
a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the three
screws used for mounting the clutch face. Once
the screws come to a positive stop, hold them in
place with the screwdriver and thread the lock nuts
onto the portion of the screws protruding from the
rear of the clutch mount. Tighten the lock nuts until
they are flush with the clutch mount.

Set the engine back on the frame and tighten the
nuts and bolts so that you still can move the engie
back and forth fairly easily.
8.
Using a feeler gauge slide the motor forward until
you reach a spacing of .010” between the clutch face
and the field. Once you reach this point, finish
tightening the engine bolts, alternating to keep the
air gap the same on all sides of the clutch. Replace
the clutch cover.
