Sprocket and Pawl Service
IMPORTANT: Do Not remove both wheels at the same time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet sprockets are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the position of washers and snap rings during assembly.
1.Remove the wheel by popping of the hub cap and removing the hex bolt and washer.
2.Remove retaining ring and washer which hold sprocket onto the shaft.
3.Remove sprocket, holding any washers or other hardware in the same position as removed from shafts.
4.To reassemble, slide sprockets, washers and retaining rings back onto the shaft in same order that you removed them.
5.Lightly grease both shafts and fill the ratchet sprocket with grease.
6.Lightly grease axle and then reassemble wheel. The brushes should rotate only during forward rotation of the wheel. If the brushes are driven (rotated) by both forward and reverse rotation of the wheel, the drive pin is jamming in the ratchet gear. Disassemble to clean and lubricate drive pin and ratchet gear.
