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. 

 
4.3.6.  Replacement Of Bearing On Pulley End Of Hex 
Shaft 
To replace the bearing on the pulley end of the hex 
shaft, proceed as follows: 
1.  Hold the hex shaft with an adjustable wrench 
held next to the pulley. 
2.  Remove the 3/8” hex lock nut which is located on 
the outside of the right wheel bracket.  See Figure 
4.15. 
3.  Remove holder, O-ring and bearing. 
4.  Install new bearing. 
5.  Carefully install new O-ring over the outside of the

4.4. BELT SERVICE 

On these mowers, the engine belt transmits power 
from engine to drive disc. The drive disc powers the 
poly-v belt which engages the transmission that powers 
the rear wheels. Should these belts become worn, they 
could cause slippage which would impair mower 
performance. The condition of the engine belt and poly-
v belt should be checked after every 25 hours of mower 
operation. 
 
4.4.1.  Engine Drive Belt Replacement 
1.  
Empty the fuel tank. 
2.  Unhook the idler spring from the right rear wheel 
bracket. See Figures 4.16.  

 
 

 

FIGURE 4.16 

 
IMPORTANT: DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or 
spark plug down. Oil from crankcase will saturate the air 
filter and cause the engine to be hard to start or not start at 
all. If contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be 
replaced. 

 
3.
 Remove the driven disc.  Refer to Section 
“Replacing Driven Disc Rubber Ring” for driven disc 
removal procedure. 
4.  Do not tilt mower with spark plug or carburetor down. 
Tilt mower up on its rear wheels and remove blade and 
blade hub. Assistance from another person may be 
necessary to hold mower in the tilted position.
