Hayter Double 3 mower - speed control unit question
Please, can anyone help with this? How do you take apart the speed control unit mounted on the side of the handle? Eric (my other half) has removed it from the handle and taken out the two small screws, but it won't come apart: is there a plastic tab or the like that has to be lifted, or some cunning way of twisting or pulling it to get it apart far enough to put the end of the cable wire in? He's suffering from so-near-and-yet-so-far syndrome ;-(( many thanks, -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

Hayter Double 3 mower - speed control unit question
In message , Janet Baraclough
writes The message from Klara contains these words: How do you take apart the speed control unit mounted on the side of the handle? Eric (my other half) has removed it from the handle and taken out the two small screws, but it won't come apart: is there a plastic tab or the like that has to be lifted, or some cunning way of twisting or pulling it to get it apart far enough to put the end of the cable wire in? I dunno. But it reminds me of a neighbour bringing round a large paper sack full of small components, which until the previous day had been an electric lawnmower. He had spent hours taking everything apart to "service" the engine, and now he couldn't remember how to put it back together. His wife had told him to take to John "because John will know what to do". Well, she was sort of right. John advised him to buy a new one. Janet. Ah, here the problem was the opposite: the unit wouldn't come apart. It only needed one wire to be reattached (well within the capacities of my other half who in a past life was an engineer), but cunningly they have engineered it so you have to buy a new unit. Oh well, only £16... But you'd be amazed what you can do with mowers! Back in the good old days when mowers were simpler, my brother put the whole motor through the dishwasher. It came out gleaming and perfectly functional! -- Klara, Gatwick basin |
