Maintenance (continued)

Remove the shaft bolt, bolt guard, ■

holder A, blade, holder B, and the out-

put shaft collar. Press new grease into

been pushed out. Use only lithium-base

grease.

Gearcase lubrication

Inspect the Gearcase Protector

The metal gearcase protector is installed to

protect the gearcase ﬂange from damage

when working close to sidewalks or other

abrasive surfaces, and should be routinely

inspected for damage or excessive wear.

When replacing the protector, inspect to be

sure that both of the protector mounting

screws are ﬁrmly tightened and each screw

is locked in place with a nut as shown.

50-hour Maintenance (continued)

Lubricate the Flexible Shaft

Lack of lubrication will cause rapid wear to

the ﬂexible shaft and also to the shaft tube

liner, resulting in increased vibration and

greatly decreased service life. Remove and

lubricate the ﬂexible shaft as follows:

Loosen the gearcase clamp screw.1.

Remove the gearcase index screw.2.

Slide the gearcase and shield assembly 3.

from the shaft tube.

Pull the ﬂexible shaft from the shaft 4.

tube assembly, and clean the shaft thor-

oughly in solvent.

Inspect the shaft carefully, and replace 5.

if worn or damaged. If ﬂexible shaft

is worn and needs replacement, liner

should also be replaced.

NOTE:

For extended shaft life, the exible cable

should be reversed end-for-end during

the reinstallation process.

Coat the entire length of the shaft with 6.

a premium gearcase lube and reinstall

the shaft in the shaft tube assembly.

Insert the ﬂexible shaft into the female 7.

end of the gearcase pinion.

Reinstall the gearcase onto the outer 8.

tube in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION!

The D-shaped shim washer must be

positioned with its at edge toward the

shaft tube.
