CLEAN WHEEL MOTOR BUILD-UP
1. Inspect the wheel motor and wheel motor hub for debris build-up (best accessed
from back of machine). Remove any strands of carpet and use compressed air (not
high pressure) to clean out dust or glue build-up. If any build-up cannot be removed
this way, complete the following steps to remove the wheel hub.
2. Raise the front of the machine up by lowering the front cutting head down all the
way, or by using 2 ton jack. Place blocks under the fork lift cup.
3. Slowly raise the cutting head until the machine is resting on the blocks and the
wheel on the side that is blocked up is raised off the ground.
4. Remove the cotter pin and loosen the center wheel hub nut.
5. To loosen the wheel from the wheel motor shaft you might need to hit the steel rim
from the inside with a rubber mallet.
6. Remove the wheel and remove the build up off of the wheel motor shaft.
7. Re-mount the wheel hub, making sure that the keyway matches on the motor shaft.
Tighten down the wheel hub nut to press fit in the wheel hub.
8. Re-insert the cotter pin.
9. Lower the cutting head to raise the machine back off the blocks.
10. Repeat the process for the opposite side if needed.
