27. Remove the screwdriver and slide the rear of the

mower deck 2” (5cm) away from the engine base so

that the top mower deck hole aligns with the bottom

hole in the engine base. Insert the screwdriver to

secure the alignment. This will provide enough

clearance to slide the clutch off the crankshaft (Fig.

1483).

Note: Use caution to make sure the deck does not

slide off the engine base brackets.

the rope into the cylinder.
