Using a suitable screwdriver remove the retaining ring and remove the washer.

Pull the wheel off the shaft. On the rear wheels there is a shaft spring.
When reattaching the wheel proceed in the reverse sequence to its removal. Before attaching the wheel clean all parts and lightly
grease the shaft with a plastic lubricant. Especially for wheels on the rear axle this lubrication is essential for the subsequent
removal of the wheel. In the event that lubrication is not performed the subsequent attachment may be very difficult.
When attaching the rear wheel pay attention to the mutual alignment of the pin on the shaft and the groove on the wheel.
6.3.15 REPAIRING A TYRE PUNCTURE
The mower is equipped with tubeless tyres. In the event of a puncture, have it repaired at a specialised tyre repair shop or at an
authorised mower service centre.
6.3.16 MAINTENANCE OF THE HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION

are accessible after taking the ejection chute off the machine (
manufacturer that supplied the machine part.
In the event of problems with the transmission immediately seek the help of an authorised service centre, there is a risk
of serious damage.
6.4 LUBRICATION
Lubricate the mower according to figure 6.4 and the table below. In the event that the mower is operated in very dusty or sandy
operating conditions, lubricate more frequently.
Ball bearings of the tension pulleys, guide pulleys and bearings on the mowing deck are self-lubricating.
Prior to starting lubrication, the engine must be turned off and all moving parts of the mower must be still.
