may mean the engine isn't
sitting all the way down on the

your Tilter for several years.

hedge trimmer attachment,
then replaced it. In either case,
the flange bolt (Key #22, page
29) may have come loose and
notice a gap bet_zeen the
bottom of the engine flange
(Key #24, page 29) and the
top of the worm gear housing.

bolt. 'lake the engine off the
worm gear housing. Notice
the hex head on top of the
drive shaft (Key #28, Page 27),
Inside the flange housing,
you'I1 find the clutch drum
(Key #25, Page 29). Make sure
the hex head lines up with the
clutch drum reside the flange
housing.

on the worm gear housing.

handle is not under the fuel
tank.

between the engine flange and
the worm gear housing.
