7.15 WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURE ____________________________________________
Make sure the mower is parked on a solid and level surface. Never work on a mower that is supported only by the
jack. Always use jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the mower is lifted, put the chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are not lifted.
Remove dirt, grease and oil from the stud threads. Do not lubricate threads.
Put the wheel on the hub. Inspect the wheel to make sure of full contact between surface of
wheel and hub.
Tighten all hardware with your fingers, then torque hardware in the order shown. When
possible, tighten nuts in the top position.
Check and torque hardware each day until torque is kept at 85-95 ft.lb. (115-128Nm).
