CAUTION
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO ENGINE:
When the four engine mounting screws
are removed in Step 3, the engine will
not be secured to the tiller. Be very
careful not to let the engine fall off the
tiller!
3. Observe the "CAUTION" statement
above and remove the four screws (B,
Figures 3 and 4), lock washers and hex
nuts that secure the engine to the left
and right side engine support brackets.
Do not save the hardware.
IMPORTANT: On some units, there are
more than two engine mounting holes in the
left and right side engine support brackets
(see Fig. 8). If the support brackets on your
unit have more than two mounting holes,
then be sure to note which holes are used to
mount the engine. It is critical that the
same holes be used when installing the
bumper/guard and engine on the support
brackets.
4. Position the two legs of the front
bumper underneath the left and right
side engine support brackets (see Figure
5). On the right side of the engine, align
the hole in the end of the bumper leg
with the holes in the rear of the engine
base and the engine support bracket.
Insert a new 2-1/2-in. long screw (C,
Fig. 5) down through the holes and
loosely add a spring lock washer and
hex nut.
5. While still on the right side of the
engine, insert a new 2-1/2-in. long
screw (D, Fig. 6) up through the holes in
the bumper leg, the engine support
bracket and the engine base. Loosely
add a spring lock washer and hex nut.
6. On the left side of the engine, insert two
new 2-1/2-in. long screws (E, Fig. 7) up
through the holes in the bumper leg, the
engine support bracket and the engine
base. Add spring lock washers and hex
nuts and tighten securely.
7. Tighten all of the bumper/guard mount-
ing screws securely.
