Control And Grip Removal From Drive Tube; Installation On Drive Tube - Toro TC 1000 Service Manual

SECTION 7 CONTROLS
The control unit on the TC1000 houses the
on/off switch and the throttle control trigger. The
actual housing was cast aluminum in 1985
although subsequent production uses a plastic
version.
Directly behind the control unit is a padded grip
which covers the connectors for the ignition
ground leads and a portion of the throttle cable.

plastic pin. The pin can be released by
pulling or prying down on the front of the grip
housing while sliding the grip back, off the
end of the tube. It may help to lubricate the
tube with soapy water prior to this procedure.
