Servicing the Wheels
Removing the Wheels
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
3. Remove the bolt, the wheel spacer, and the locknut
mounting the wheel to the pivot arm (Figure 32).

5. Wheel half
4. Separate the wheel halves from the tire by removing
4 bolts and 4 locknuts (Figure 32).
Note: If you remove the bearings from the
bearing/hub assembly, remove them by pressing on
the bearing spacer (Figure 32).
Assembling the Wheels
1. Position the tire onto one wheel half, aligning the
lugs on each (Figure 32).
2. Place the bearing/hub assembly into the center hole
of the wheel half. Ensure that the legs of the hub are
positioned over the flange of the hole (Figure 32).
3. Place the other wheel half onto the bearing/hub
assembly, aligning the wheel and the tire lugs and the
mounting holes (Figure 32).
4. Using 2 fully threaded screws or bolts (1/4-20 x 1.50
inch) and non-locking nuts, loosely secure the wheel
halves together. Mount the screws or bolts in the
opposing holes (Figure 32).
5. Check the alignment of all parts and tighten the
bolts, alternating from side to side for a uniform fit,
until the wheel halves are drawn together (Figure 32).

6. Install the 2 bolts and 2 locknuts previously removed
in the remaining holes in the wheel halves and
tighten. Remove the 2 long screws or bolts and
replace them with 2 bolts and 2 locknuts (Figure 32).
7. Install the wheel to the pivot arm with the bolts,
a spacer, and a locknut. Ensure that the spacer is
positioned between the wheel hub and the pivot arm
(Figure 32).
