FRONT WHEEL REPAIR

Removal & Installation
1. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pop off the plastic hub
cap to gain access to the retaining ring.
2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the retaining
ring and hubcap retainer.
3. Slide the wheel off the spindle shaft (Figure 4). Note
that the tire air valve and axle grease fitting are locat-
ed on the inside of the wheel.
4. Reinstall in reverse order of removal. Be sure to
clean and lubricate the spindle shaft with lithium
grease.

Inspection

Removal of the wheel provides an opportunity to inspect
the inside of the tire for sidewall damage, as well as to
check inflation pressure. Also, visually check wheel
bushings for wear or damage before reinstalling the
wheel on the unit, and replace as required. Wheel bear-
ings are pressed into the wheel hub with a press fit and
may be removed by pressing or driving out.
