Front Wheel Replacement Procedure
NOTE:
This section describes the installation and removal procedures for the earlier-type of front wheel
and the newer improved type. The installation procedure is slightly different for each type of front wheel,
as described in the procedures below.

same
type of wheel, refer to the following

BOTH
front wheels. When ordering the new-type Front wheels, you will receive a new transverse arm which
should also be replaced (between the two wheels). Refer to these instructions:
•

Front Wheel Removal - Procedure 1
Note:
Before you begin, make sure you are working on a flat surface with the wheels facing the
front
and the brake in the left (
locked
) position, preventing movement.
The machine will remain stable, even after one wheel has been removed. However, for a safer
working environment, it is recommended to support the unit with wooden blocks or a jack.
WARNING: Do not lean on the machine, or leave it unattended without support, if a wheel has
been removed.
1)
Remove the Vivid 3N front cover, as described in
8-2-3-3 "Front Cover Removal Procedure" on page
8-5
.
2) Using a flat screwdriver, push up and release the locking spring washer located in the center of the
transverse arm (wheel position bar), as shown in
Figure 8-92 "Releasing the Spring Washer from
the Center of the Transverse Arm" on page 8-109
. Lift the wheel position bar upwards (without
completely removing it).
