4.Reinstall the bearing and outside bearing cap on the left side of the frame.

5.On the right side of the frame, place the washer on the end of the shaft.

6.Reinstall the bearing cap/bushing on the right side of frame.

7.Reinstall roll pins in shaft. Be sure pins are centered in shaft.

8.Connect the pivot pin to the speed selector arm with the hardware removed in step 6 of Remove Friction Disc on page 23.

9.Reinstall tires with lockpins.

10.Install bottom cover.

11.Set unit upright.
