IMPELLER REMOVAL

1. Disconnect spark plug wire.

2. Disconnect remote control rod from nozzle gobbler door.

3. Elevate front of machine using stable support blocks between housing and ground so that front caster wheels are not touching ground.

4. Remove nozzle and caster wheel brackets from the housing.

5. Remove both the top and side belt guards between housing and transmission.

6. Loosen wire belt guide located on front face of engine on left side of unit between housing and engine.

7. Slide belt toward engine, out of belt groove in impeller hub drive pulley.

8. Remove impeller bolt and lock washer.

9. If impeller slides off freely, proceed to (step 12). (Do not drop impeller).

10.If impeller does not slide off crankshaft, place two crowbars between impeller and housing on opposite sides. Pry impelleraway from engine until it loosens. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.

11.If the impeller cannot be loosened, obtain a 1” (25.4mm) longer bolt of the same diameter and thread type as the impeller bolt. Invert engine and impeller and support engine above ground to prevent recoil damage. Thread longer bolt by hand into the crankshaft until bolt bottoms. Using a suitable gear or wheel puller against the bolt head and the impeller back-plate (near the blades), remove impeller from shaft.

12.Slide impeller off of crank shaft and remove impeller from housing.

13.Reinstall new impeller and all applicable spacers, new impeller bolt and lockwasher in reverse order of removal. (See the parts drawing on pages 16 and 17 for parts break-down and parts list on page 18 for proper impeller bolt torque specifications and proper spacer for Honda engine only.)

14.When impeller is installed, slide belt into drive pulley and adjust wire belt guide as shown on page 13 (see fig. 10 & 11).

15.Reattach nozzle and both caster brackets in reverse order of removal.

16.Check operator's bail to ensure that it operates properly. (If not, see drive adjustments on page 13). Note: Drive must completely disengage with bail released and must engage when bail is depressed within 1.0" (25.4mm) of the operator's handle.
