Clutch Replacement

INSTALL NEW CLUTCH AS FOLLOWS:

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.
7. 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.
