Every two years, the ratchet assemblies in each
wheel should be cleaned and greased.
Note:
When performing this procedure, take
notes on the position of all washers, spacers,
and retaining rings.
Work on one side at a time to
avoid mixing directional components.
To grease the ratchet assemblies:
1. Remove the dust cover, wheel nut, and
washer, as described in Step 2 of
"To
Lubricate the Bushings", then remove the
wheel (Figure 23
).

the brush shaft bushings, the wheel bushings,
and grease the ratchet assemblies in each wheel
unit.
To lubricate the bushings:
1. Tilt the sweeper onto its side and apply a few
drops of light oil to the brush shaft, as shown
in Figure 20.
