Insert the axle through the hub of the wheel
with the valve stem facing away from the
mower. (Be sure to place the supplied
spacers between the surface of the axle
weldment and the hub to prevent the tire
from rubbing the weldment.)
With the wheel in position, insert a cotter
pin in the hole on the end of the axle. Use
pliers to spread the ends of the cotter pin
to retain the wheel in position. Repeat this
process for the other side.
Important - Do not forget to spread the
ends of the cotter pins to keep wheel as-
sembly in place.
