Tightening Rear Drive Wheel Hardware
1. Tighten rear wheel nuts to 102 Nom (75 lbf-ft).
MX10287
2. Tighten wheel nuts in numbered sequence shown for safe
wheel installation. Tighten alternately until recommended
torque value is reached.
Checking Tire Pressure
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.
1. Check tires for damage.
2. Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.
3. Add air, if necessary:
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 x 10-10 69-97 kPa (10-14 psi)
Servicing Caster Wheel Roller Bearings
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY
section.)
2. Raise and securely support front of machine.
3. Remove locknut (A), cap screw (B), and wheel assembly (C).
4. Remove seals (D) and bearings (E) from wheel.
5. Clean and inspect bearings (E). Replace as needed.
6. Repack bearings with clean grease.
7. Install bearings (E) and wheel spacer (F) (if removed), and
new seals (D).
8. Install wheel assembly (C), cap screw (B) and locknut (A).
9. Use a grease gun to fill hub until grease just appears at one of
the seals (D).
10. Lower machine.
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.
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Improper care of machine
plastic surfaces can damage that surface:
Do not wipe plastic surfaces when they are dry. Dry wiping
wilt 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.
1. Wash surface with clean water and a mild liquid automotive
washing soap.
2. Dry thoroughly to avoid water spots.
