Mend Flymo Compact 350 Motor Cover Switch

Flymo Compact 350 Motor Cover Removal?

I want to replace the Switch Box Assembly on the Flymo Compact 350. The top part is easy to do, however, the lower part where the leads go to the motor, under the motor cover, seem impossible to access.

I found two screws holding the back of the motor cover, however, there appears to be something else holding the cover on. It's not obvious where the other screws (I assume they are screws) are.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance.

just look underneath you will find one screw holding the cover on

There are only 2 screws. Then just pivot it up from the 'screw end'. The only thing on the other end is a plastic tab that fits in a slot but that just lifts out once you've undone the two scews. You have to pivot/swing it up though or you won't release the tab.
Reversal is the same. Fit the tab in the slot, then pivot it back down and fit the two screws.

there is another screw at the front, often covered by dirt so nt easy to see

I found the screws, there are three of them. Two are visible at the rear of the cover after the grassbox is removed. The third is at the front of the mower and faces towards the rear.

Easy removal and replacement of the mains cable and switch box was afforded after the motor cover removal.
