MAINTENANCE Wheels Replacing the drive wheel axle 1. Turn off the engine and empty all fuel from the fuel tank. 2. Remove the weights and the drive guard cover. 3. Remove the locking nut (2) on the idler adjustment screw (1) to slacken the chain. Remove the master link and the chain. 4. Tip the lawn aerator backwards so that it is resting on the handle. The front wheel ends up about 30 cm above the ground. WARNING! Secure the handle so that the lawn aerator cannot tip over. 5. Remove the nuts (1) and screws (2) (4 of each on model AR19 and 6 on model AR 25) for the wheel axle bearings. 6. Remove the wheel axle with wheels and sprocket. Model AR19 does not have the complete bearing closest to the sprocket; the illustration shows model AR25. 7. Undo 2 setscrews (hex screws) for the sprocket (5) and pull the sprocket and the bearings from the axle. To remove the bearings (3), you must first remove the locking collar (4). Undo the setscrew, insert a punch into the hole beside the setscrew and tap it with a hammer so that the locking collar turns opposite the wheel's normal rotation direction. If the bearings have rusted in place, they must be replaced together with the wheels and axle. 8. Fit the bearings and sprocket loosely on the axle. For model AR19, the hub side of the bearing should be turned away from the wheel. Model AR25 has three bearings. On both of the bearings closest to the wheel, the hub should be turned away from the wheel. On the bearing closest to the sprocket, the hub should be turned away from the sprocket. 9. Tighten the bearings in place. 10. Center the wheel in the wheel opening in the cowling (see illustration). Set the locking collars by tightening the setscrews. 11. Align the sprocket with the other sprockets and tighten both of the setscrews (hex screws) for the sprocket. Use blue Loctite when the key is in place. 12. To fit the chain, follow instructions in chapter "Maintenance/Replacing the chain". 13. Adjust the chain (see chapter "Maintenance/ Adjusting chain tension") and refit the drive guard cover. 32 - English 8011-219 8011-170 8011-175
