Assembling Engine and Drive

Shaft Assembly

The drive shaft, clutch drum housing and gearcase are
assembled. Attach the clutch drum housing to the
engine using the four M5 x 20 screws supplied with
the unit (Fig. 4).

Loop Handle Installation

The loop handle kit contains a package of four screws
and nuts, a rubber sleeve and the bottom clamp for
the loop handle (Fig. 5).
1. Slip the rubber sleeve around the shaft
approximately 9 inches (22.8 cm) from the end
of the stop switch/throttle trigger assembly for
an initial handle position (Fig. 5).
2. Rotate the rubber sleeve so the split is to one
side (Fig. 5).
3. Place the loop handle and the bottom clamp over
the rubber sleeve (Fig. 5).
4. Install the four screws and nuts. Leave the
screws finger-tight (Fig. 5).
5. Reposition the loop handle up or down the drive
shaft to the most comfortable position, but no
closer than 9 inches (22.8 cm) from the end of
the stop switch (Figs. 5 and 6).
6. Tighten the screws and nuts (Fig. 5).

Connecting Stop Switch Wires

1. Install the plastic tube (packed with the drive
shaft assembly) around the throttle cable and
stop switch wires (Fig. 7).
2. Loosen the knob and remove the air cleaner
cover to access the stop switch wires (Fig. 8).
3. Plug the stop switch wires into the matching
connectors from the engine.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner cover and tighten the
knob (Fig. 8).

Connecting Throttle Cable

1. Loosen the knob and remove the air cleaner
cover (Fig. 8).
2. Insert the throttle cable through the cable
adjuster sleeve on the carburetor bracket. Make
sure the end of the cable housing is seated
positively in the sleeve (Figs. 9 and 10).
3. Position the slotted fitting on the carburetor so
the recessed hole for the cable lug is away from
the cable adjuster sleeve (Fig. 9).
4. Rotate the carburetor throttle cam clockwise and
slip the throttle cable through the slot in the
slotted fitting, making sure the cable lug drops
into the recessed hole (Figs. 9 and 10).
5. Operate the throttle trigger a few times to make
sure that it works correctly (Fig. 15).
6. Adjust the cable adjuster sleeve so the stop on
the carburetor throttle cam just contacts the
throttle stop when the throttle trigger is fully
depressed (Figs. 9 and 10).
7. When the throttle cable is adjusted correctly,
tighten the locknut (Fig. 9).
