Replacing the Wheels
Tools needed:

1. With the weight of the machine on the wheel, loosen (counterclockwise) the
Axle Bolt (Figure 35) with a 9/16" Wrench or Socket.
2. Block the machine up off the ground so that the Wheel you are removing
spins freely, remove the Axle Bolt, Lock Washer, Flat Washer, and Outer
Bushing.
3. Slide the Wheel from the Axle.
Note: If the Inner Bushing should slip out when removing the Wheel, simply re-
insert it on the Step & Mow™ Axle Shaft.
4. Replace the Wheel and hardware in the reverse order.

NOT continue to use your machine.

If your Debris Guard becomes worn or damaged it MUST be replaced.

 3/8" Wrench
1. Remove the nine Bolts and Lock Washers with a 3/8" Wrench and remove
the Plate and damaged Debris Guard.
