INSPECTION AND REPAIR 1. The pinion gear parts should be checked for damage or wear. If the gear does not engage or slips, it should be washed in solvent ( rubber parts cleaned in soap and water) to remove dirt and grease, and dried before reassembly. Also check the armature and drive nut splines for wear or damage. Replace parts as necessary. 2. The brushes and brush card holder should be checked for wear. With the armature in place and the brushes engaging the commutator surface, check the brushes for wear. Brushes should be replaced if the brush wire approaches the bottom of the brush holder slot. Brush springs must exhibit enough strength to keep tension on the brushes and hold them on the commutator. 3. The field windings can be checked using a continuity light or ohmmeter. Attach one lead to each field coil connection. Continuity should exist between each field coil connection, and no continuity should exist between the field coil connections and the starter housing (diag. 36 & 37). 4. The armature should be checked for glazing or wear. If necessary the armature can be turned down in a lathe. While rotating, polish the commutator bars using a piece of 00 sandpaper (diag. 38). Light pressure and back and forth movement should be used. Recut the commutator bars to a depth equal to the width of the insulators between the bars. Check for continuity between the copper commutator bars and the iron of the armature, none should exist (diag. 39). If any is noted the armature must be replaced. FIELD COIL CONNECTORS BRUSH SPRINGS FIELD COIL CONNECTORS CONNECTION POINT OF POWER CORD LEADS 12 VOLT 36 120 VOLT 37 38 39 Brush Card Replacement 1. Loosen but do not remove the two nuts on the starter terminal post. 2. Remove the nuts holding the end cap in place. Remove the end cap and the thrust washer. 3. Grasp the thru bolts using a vise grip positioned as close to the flanged end as possible to prevent thread damage. Remove the two nuts holding the driving end cap in place. Remove the armature and driving cap assembly, followed by the two thru bolts. Notice the position of the brush ground eyelet under the thru bolt flange. 4. Note or mark the position of the connectors of the brush wires. Use a wire cutter to clip the solid field wires as close to the connectors as possible. 5. Note or mark the brush card in the starter housing and remove the brush card assembly. Clean the accumulated dirt off all starter parts. Scrape the insulating varnish off the last 1/2" (12.7 mm) of the solid field wires. 6. Insert the new brush card into position while guiding the solid field wires through the proper slots in the brush card. 7. Crimp and solder the brush leads to the solid field wires. Use a needle nose pliers or vise grip to hold the woven brush lead close to the connector while soldering. This prevents solder and heat from flowing up the brush lead. Insulate the crimped connection nearest the starter terminal post using electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. Route the wires to prevent damage during assembly. 8. Install the armature into the housing while spreading the brushes. Install the thru bolts while checking to make sure the bolts go thru the ground brush eyelet terminals. Install and tighten the drive end thru bolt nuts, but do not overtighten. 9. Install the thrust washer (cupped side faces towards the end cap) on the end of the armature and then install the starter end cap. Secure the cap with the locking nuts and tighten the nut on the starter terminal post. Rotate the armature by hand to check for binding before installation on the engine. 58
CHAPTER 7 FLYWHEEL BRAKE SYSTEMS GENERAL INFORMATION Tecumseh’s brake systems provide two methods of meeting compliance standards which has become a federal law as of June 30, 1982. There are two additional methods used by equipment manufacturers that also meet compliance standards and they are as follows: 1. Use of the blade brake clutch in conjunction with either a top or side mounted recoil starter or 12 volt electric starter. The blade stops within three seconds after the operator lets go of the blade control bail at the operator position and the engine continues to run. Starter rope handle is either on the engine or on the equipment handle. 2. Use of a recoil starter (top or side mounted) with the rope handle on the engine as opposed to within 24 inches (60.9 cm) of the operator position. This method is acceptable if the mower deck passes the 360 degree foot probe test. A specified foot probe must not contact the blade when applied completely around the entire blade housing. This alternative can be used with engine mounted brake systems and typical bail controls. The blade stops within three seconds after the operator lets go of the engine/blade control bail at the operator position. Tecumseh’s Flywheel Brake system provides consumer safety by stopping the engine and blade within three seconds after the operator releases the engine/blade control bail at the handle of the lawnmower. These systems are available on both recoil and electric start models. The engine stopping time is affected by the engine R.P.M. Consult microfiche card #30, the Plus 1 or Parts Smart Look-Up system, or Service Bulletin #107 to determine the correct engine RPM or blade tip speed. OPERATION BOTTOM SURFACE SYSTEM In the stop position with the handle mounted engine / blade control released, the torsion spring rotates the brake lever forcing the brake pad against the underside of the flywheel, actuates the ignition kill switch and on electric start models, opens the starter interlock switch (diag. 1). In order to restart the engine, the handle mounted engine / blade control must be applied. This action pulls the brake pad away from the flywheel, opens the ignition kill switch and on electric start models, closes the starter interlock switch. This will allow the engine to be started by energizing the starter with a starter switch (diag. 2).
