BEARING REPLACEMENT

Section 5 - ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR

5.11 MOWER SPINDLES (Field Serviceable Spindles)

BEARING REPLACEMENT

In the event that a spindle bearing requires

replacement, the SNAPPER Field Serviceable

Spindles have been designed so that no special

tools or presses are required.

Allow blade bolt, washer, blade and four spacers

to drop down out of the spindle housing. See

Figure 5.19.

IMPORTANT: Spindle housing must be filled with grease before operating mower. Failure to fill housing will cause premature bearing failure.
