T10043 38" Lawn Sweeper

Every two years, the ratchet assemblies in each
wheel should be cleaned and greased.

Note: When performing this procedure, take
notes on the position of all washers, spacers,
and retaining rings. Work on one side at a time to
avoid mixing directional components.

To grease the ratchet assemblies:

1. Remove the dust cover, wheel nut, and

washer, as described in

Step 2 of "To

Lubricate the Bushings", then remove the
wheel (

Figure 23).

and grease the ratchet assemblies in each wheel
unit.

To lubricate the bushings:

1. Tilt the sweeper onto its side and apply a few

drops of light oil to the brush shaft, as shown
in
