Replacing the Coupling

Tools Needed:

Two 1/2" Wrenches

Wire Cutters

Large Flat Head Screwdriver

1. Disconnect the Battery Positive and Negative Cables by pulling them from

the Terminals (Figure 48).

2. Cut the Cable Ties that secure the Engine Harness to the Frame with Wire

Cutters.

3. Remove the two Bolts, Lock Washers and Flat Washers that secure the

Coupling Guards on both sides of the Engine Brace with a 1/2" Wrench.

4. Remove the two Locknuts that secure the front side of the Engine Brace to

the Impeller Housing with a 1/2" Wrench (Figure 49).

5. Remove four Engine Bolts, Flat Washers and Locknuts with two 1/2"

Wrenches (Figure 50).

6. Carefully slide the Engine away from the Coupling until the Rubber Coupling

can be removed from the machine (Figure 51).

NOTE: If you have the Pro-XL model, you may need to lift and twist on the Engine

to get the required separation to remove the Rubber Coupling.

Before performing any maintenance, repairs or inspection, you must first shut off the mower and leaf and lawn vacuum engines,
wait five minutes for all parts to stop and cool, and disconnect the spark plug wire of the leaf and lawn vacuum.
