Step 1

Grab the plastic housing at the end of the spark plug wire.
Pull firmly to disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

Step 2

Use a 1/2" socket or wrench to remove the two 26 mm bolts securing the rear guard to the back end of the brush cutter.

Step 3

The brush cutter is heavy—get help before attempting to lift it.
If you choose to tip the brush cutter onto its side, first drain the oil and gas.
Raise and support the back end of the brush cutter—or tip it carefully onto its side—in order to access the bottom cover.

Step 4

Use a 3/8” socket or wrench to remove the four 21 mm bolts securing the rear guard.
Remove the guard.

Step 5

Relieve the tension on the transaxle drive belt by pressing on the back end of the tensioning arm. (Alternatively, use a pry bar on the front end of the tensioning arm, or remove the tensioning spring.)
Slip the transaxle drive belt off the drive pulley.

Step 6

Free the belt by sliding it out between the transaxle pulley and the spindle belt.
Remove the transaxle drive belt.

If you attempt to turn this unit on it’s side be aware of the hydraulic fluid system, not just the gas and engine oil. If you look at the first picture of step 6 you will see the white plastic reservoir in the center of the picture “on top” of the transaxle. It has a black plastic filler cap. Also refer to parts diagram to see the complete assembly. In theory it should not leak but check the cap for tightness before turning, and monitor it so you don’t have a mess and then have to refill the fluid, which is not easy in itself.
