Sealing collar replacement - outgoing axles
1
Remove the rear wheels.
Do not lose the key that sits between the hub and
the axle.
Remove the spacing tube and washer from the
wheel axle.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Dirt must not be allowed to get into the
transmission as this can shorten its
operational life.
• Clean the outgoing axle and the area around the
sealing collar of all dirt and rust.
• Insert a screwdriver between the sealing collar
and the axle and bend the sealing collar out of
the axle housing with a twisting motion.
2
• Wrap insulation tape around the outgoing axle
from the start of the key-way and outwards until
even the circlip's groove is covered with tape.
This is done to protect the new sealing collar
from damage.
• Lubricate the axle and the inside of the new
sealing collar with grease so that the collar can
slide easily.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before the sealing collar is completely
installed, check that the sealing collar's
metal spring reinforcement sits on the
side of the sealing collar which leads
inwards towards the transmission.
3
• Place the sealing collar on the axle, with the
metal spring inwards, and press it in carefully .
• Use the narrow end of a 1/4" extender to
carefully knock in the sealing collar until it
reaches the bottom of the axle housing. Only
knock on the steel cover.
Move the extender in a circle around the sealing
collar so that it is pressed in evenly all the way
around and tight against the axle.
• Remove the insulation tape from the axle and
repeat, as is necessary, the entire procedure for
the second axle.
• Replace the washer, spacing tube, key, rear
wheel, circlip and hubcap.
• Fill the transmission's oil container with SAE
10W30 oil until the oil level reaches the "MAX"-
marking.
• Bleed the hydrostatic transmission as shown in
"Bleeding the hydrostatic transmission's oil
system".
• Operate the ride-on mower and then check that
there is no oil leaking from the new axle sealing
collars.
• Check the oil level and top up if necessary after
test running.
