Assembly & Operating Instructions

To Reassemble the Mow-Ball

Support Assembly

WARNING: Before performing any maintenance

procedures, the engine should be stopped and the
spark plug wire disconnected.

Caution: An improper installation may cause damage
to the bearings. Please follow these directions
carefully.

Tool Needed:

• Phillips head screwdriver

Note: If you removed and are reinstalling the Wagner
Anti-Wrap Device, be sure the bracket is flush with or
slightly above the bottom edge of the bearing housing
shaft—not below it.

1. Reassemble the components in the order shown in

Figure 35.
• Be sure to align the notches in the cutting height
disks and the Mow-Ball

Support before

completing assembly.
• Check the head of the Mow-Ball

bolt. It should

sit in the groove (square washer) at the bottom of
the Mow-Ball

Support.

2. Hold the Mow-Ball

bolt head in place with one finger and turn the Mow-Ball

Support

assembly counterclockwise until it's finger tight. Holding the bolt in place prevents it from
turning in the groove and digging into the Mow-Ball

Support.

3. Spin the Mow-Ball

Support to be sure the anti-wrap device does not hit the trimmer head plate.

There should be about 1/16" to 1/8" of clearance. There will be some resistance as you turn the
trimmer head because of the belt and pulley.

4. Return the orange vinyl plug. This will keep out dirt and debris and ensure the long life of the

bearings.

Please Note: Do not put oil or grease in the hole.
