Wheel Direction
Make sure to install the wheel in the correct direction. See
bottom left graphic for correct wheel direction.
Wheel Drive Pins
Each wheel is equipped with a locking pin that secures the
wheel to the wheel shaft. The wheels can be positioned in
either a WHEEL DRIVE or a FREEWHEEL mode.
Before starting the engine, put both wheels in the WHEEL
DRIVE position by inserting the wheel drive pins through
the wheel hubs and axle shaft. Doing so “locks” the wheels
to the axle shaft, causing the wheels to turn when either
the forward or reverse lever is engaged.
Use the FREEWHEEL mode only when the engine is not
running. In FREEWHEEL, the wheel locking pins are placed
only through the holes in the wheel shaft (not the wheel hubs),
thus allowing the wheels to turn freely when you manually
move the tiller.

WRONG WHEEL
DIRECTION
WARNING: Never allow either of the wheels to be in
the FREEWHEEL position when the engine is running.
Always put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position
before starting the engine.Failure to comply could
cause loss of tiller control, property damage, or
personal injury.
TO REPLACE THE WHEELS IN THE WHEEL DRIVE OR
FREEWHEEL POSITION
1. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from
the spark plug and allow engine to cool.
2. Raise one wheel about 1 in. (2.5 cm) off the ground
and place a sturdy support under the transmission.
WARNING: Do not place tiller on its side when
changing wheel drive positions. Doing so could
result in gasoline leaking from the fuel tank. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in personal
injury or property damage.
