the spark plug.

to the trimmer housing. (See Figure 19)

2. Remove the four fasteners that hold the front of the

shield and trimmer head to the trimmer housing.

3. Remove the shield and the trimmer head.

(See Figure 19).

4. Remove the “V” Pulley from the idler bracket.

(See Figure 20)

5. Raise the front of the trimmer housing and remove the

drive belt. Do not bend the belt guides. (See Figure 20)

IMPORTANT: Only use a replacement belt from the manufac-

turer. To order spare parts call us at 1-800-737-2112

6. To assemble the drive belt, reverse the above steps.

7. The torque specs are

• 22-40 foot-pounds [30-55 Nm] for the shield fasteners,

• 27-33 foot-pounds [36.6-44.7 Nm] for the drive pulley

mounting bolt, and

• 18-25 foot-pounds [24.4-34 Nm] for the trimmer head

bolts.

8. Check the routing of the drive belt. Make sure the drive

belt is inside of all belt guides and that the belt is not

twisted. (See Figure 20)

IMPORTANT: Test the drive system. Start the engine and

move the throttle control to the FAST position. Engage and

disengage the trimmer head several times. When disen-

gaged, make sure the trimmer head completely stops when

resting on the ground. If the trimmer head continues to

rotate, take the trimmer to an authorized Service Center.
