50VSW 2 speed shifter button replacement-need instructions help

[Pk3r]

Hi,

Could use some guidance on how to replace the shifter button.

We have to replace the broken black plastic shifter button.  It is part # 172 in the schematic for serial numbers C060001 and after.

We have two buttons and need two more if anyone has a source for the buttons.


Thanks very much!

part number 172-70vs can be purchaced at mysticparts.com you will need the wrench supplied with the reel. hold the wrench and turn the retaining collar. DO NOT turn the wrench. hold the wrench and turn the colar to prevent damage to the tab's on part number 23-30vs good luck
