from the spark plug(s).

If the pivot brackets need to be replaced, remove
the carriage bolts and cone locknuts holding the
old brackets to the top of the discharge opening,
then install the replacement pivot brackets. Make
sure the carriage bolt heads are on the inside of
the cutting unit (Fig. 49).

Tighten the locknuts until they contact the pivot
brackets (Fig. 49).
