c
Servicing Caster Wheel Roller Bearings
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)
2. Raise and securely support front of machine.
c
3. Remove locknut (A), cap screw (B), two seal spacers (C) and wheel
assembly (D).
NOTE: Bearing races (G) are pressed in place and will be damaged
when removed. Do not remove bearing races (G) unless they need to
be replaced with new.
4. Remove seals (E), bearings (F) and if needed, bearing races (G) from
wheel.
5. Clean and inspect bearings (F) and races (G). Replace as needed.
6. Repack bearings with clean grease.

Cleaning and Repairing Plastic Surfaces
Your authorized dealer has the professional materials needed to properly
remove surface scratches from any plastic surfaces, do not attempt to
paint over marks or scratches in plastic parts.
c
1. Wash surface with clean water and a mild liquid automotive washing
soap.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim
parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:
Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the
wheel.
Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to one side.
Tire Size Pressure
Front: 13 x 5-6 110–138 kPa (16–20 psi)
Rear: 20 x 10-8 69–97 kPa (10–14 psi)
Rear: 20 x5.3C 69–97 kPa (10–14 psi)
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Improper care of machine plastic
surfaces can damage that surface:
Do not wipe plastic surfaces when they are dry. Dry wiping will
result in minor surface scratches.
Use a soft, clean cloth (bath towel, diaper, automotive mitt).
Do not use abrasive materials, such as polishing compounds, on
plastic surfaces.
Do not spray insect repellent near machine.
