Service Information:

The clutch for the mule drive belt on the above listed mowers may have a bearing

that was improperly installed by the clutch manufacturer. The field bearing may have been installed without

proper clearance, which may cause premature failure. All new units manufactured before 11/2003 need to

have the clutch replaced before sale. Replace with new part # 539110668. This can be accomplished without

removing the mower from the crate. Units already used will not be changed unless failure occurs. All existing

inventory should be returned for credit

________________________________________________________________________

Warranty information:

Units replaced will receive 3/4-hour labor credit

Instructions:

1. The following instructions are to remove and replace the clutch while still in the crate. If the unit is removed from

the crate it will make replacement easier but is not necessary.

2. Pull back the plastic from the back exposing the engine compartment.

3. Remove the back guard on the engine compartment.

4. Using a ½ inch ratchet and an extension, insert in the square hole on the primary belt idler (see figure 1).

12. Re-install the clutch wires, there is no polarity so either wire can be connected to either terminal.

the deck (figure 8).
