Follow the " Engaging the stand " procedure on the previous
page to make sure the stand is in a stable position before
removing/installing the tires.
Removing the tires
1. Engage the stand, and then insert a rock or stick in front
of the front roller as a stopper so that the stand will not
disengage even if the mower is bumped by a worker.
2. While supporting a tire with one hand, use the thumb on
your other hand to press down on the quick―release lever
on the inside of the wheel, until it stops.
3. Pull the tire perpendicularly off of the tire axle.
4. Use the same method to remove the other tire, and then
remove the rock or stick inserted in the front roller and fol-
low the "
Releasing the stand " procedure on the previous
page to carefully release the stand.
!
An impact to the rear roller will bend the tire axle, break the
rear roller, and interfere with grass cutting.
Installing the tires
1. Follow the " Engaging the stand " procedure on the previous
page to engage the stand, and then insert a rock or stick
in front of the front roller as a stopper so that the stand
will not disengage even if the mower is bumped by a
worker.
2. While supporting a tire with one hand, use the thumb on
your other hand to press down on the quick―release lever
on the inside of the wheel, until it stops.
3. While continuing to press down on the quick―release lever,
insert the tire perpendicularly so that it matches the shape
of the spline on the tire axis. When you see the tire axis
coming through the wheel, release the quick―release lever,
and continue pushing the wheel until you hear the sound
of the quick―release lever snapping into the tire axle
groove.
4. Use the same method to install the other tire, and then re-
move the rock or stick inserted in the front roller and follow
the "
Releasing the stand " procedure to carefully release the
stand.
