Removing the Wheels

1.Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2.Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Figure 12).

3.Remove the bolt, the wheel spacer, and the locknut mounting the wheel to the pivot arm (Figure 31).

Assembling the Wheels

1.Position the tyre onto one wheel half, aligning the lugs on each (Figure 31).

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 31).

3.Place the other wheel half onto the bearing/hub assembly, aligning the wheel and the tyre lugs and the mounting holes (Figure 31).

4.Using 2 fully threaded screws or bolts (1/4-20 x 1.50 inch) and non-locking nuts, loosely secure the wheel
