the control must be applied. This action pulls the brake
pad away from the inside edge of the flywheel and opens
the ignition ground switch.

the engine.
On non-electric start systems, recoil starter rope must
be pulled to start engine.

maintains the battery during normal use.
When battery is low, use the 120 volt auxiliary charger
(usually supplied by the equipment manufacturer).
TO REPLACE BRAKE PAD:
1. If equipped with electric starter, locate wire routing
through blower housing. Compress the grommet
and pull out of the blower housing. Carefully slide
wires through the slot. DO NOT cut the wire
insulation on the blower housing.
2. Remove flywheel (see flywheel removal.)
3. Remove pad lever "E" clip. Lift pad lever, and
unhook spring and link.
4. Attach the link to the new pad lever, install pad lever
and "E" clip.

to hook the spring into the baffle.
