4. Separate the wheel halves from the tire by removing 4

cap screws and 4 locknuts (Fig. 34).

Note: If you remove the bearings from the bearing/hub

assembly, remove them by pressing on the bearing spacer

(Fig. 34).

Assembling the Wheels

1. Position the tire onto one wheel half, aligning the lugs

on each (Fig. 34).

2. Place the bearing/hub assembly into the center hole of

the wheel half. Ensure that the legs of the hub are

positioned over the flange of the hole (Fig. 34).

3. Place the other wheel half onto the bearing/hub

assembly, aligning the wheel and the tire lugs and the

mounting holes (Fig. 34).

4. Using 2 fully threaded screws or bolts (1/4–20 x

1.50 in.) and non-locking nuts, loosely secure the

wheel halves together. Mount the screws or bolts in the

opposing holes (Fig. 34).

5. Check the alignment of all parts and tighten the

screws, alternating from side to side for a uniform fit,

until the wheel halves are drawn together (Fig. 34).

6. Install the 2 cap screws and 2 locknuts previously

removed in the remaining holes in the wheel halves

and tighten. Remove the 2 long screws or bolts and

replace them with 2 cap screws and 2 locknuts

(Fig. 34).

7. Install the wheel to the pivot arm with the cap screws,

a spacer, and a locknut. Ensure that the spacer is

positioned between the wheel hub and the pivot arm

(Fig. 34).

Storage

To prepare the lawn mower for off-season storage,

perform the recommended maintenance procedures. Refer

to Maintenance on page 14.

Store the lawn mower in a cool, clean, dry place. Cover

the lawn mower to keep it clean and protected.

Preparing the Fuel System

Gasoline can vaporize if you store it over long

periods of time and explode if it comes into

contact with an open flame.

• Do not store gasoline over long periods of time.

• Do not store the lawn mower with gasoline in

the fuel tank or the carburetor in an enclosure

with an open flame. (For example, a furnace or

a water heater pilot light.)

• Allow the engine to cool before storing it in any

enclosure.

Warning

Empty the fuel tank when mowing the last time before

storing the lawn mower.

1. Run the lawn mower until the engine stops from

running out of fuel.

2. Prime the engine and start it again.

3. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can

no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
