FIGURE 8.—Optional Hub Caps
INSTALLATION OF HUB CAPS (Optional)
1. If your mower is equipped with hub caps which
have four tabs, line up the tabs on the hub caps
with the holes in the wheels. Push to lock in posi­
tion.
2. If your mower is equipped with 2“ wide tires,
place hub caps in position against the inner hub
of the wheel. Press firmly around the center por­
tion of hub cap in a circular motion, similar to
installing a lid on a round, plastic container. See
------ figure 8. The hub caps are flexible and will snap
over the 3-1/2" diameter wheel hubs.
NOTE: It may be helpful to place the hub caps in hot
tap water for several minutes to make them pliable
before installing, especially if the temperature is less
than 60P F.
3. For other types of hub caps, simply press into
place on wheel hub.
