SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 21)
•Remove the wheel pin and retainer pin and remove wheel from axle.
IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the in- ner most hole in axle and the wheel hub hole. To disengage drive system from the wheels (for pushing or transporting the snow thrower) remove wheel pin and retainer pin from wheel hub and insert wheel pin and retainer into the outer hole in axle only.
NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

(See "INSTALL AUGER CONTROL ROD" in the Assembly section of this manual.)
