5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the wheel spacer is critical for safety and performance. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified service technician or your equipment's owner's manual.
5.1 Safety Precautions
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves.
- Ensure the equipment is turned off, the engine is cool, and the spark plug wire is disconnected to prevent accidental starting.
- Park the equipment on a flat, stable surface and engage the parking brake.
- Use appropriate lifting equipment (e.g., jack stands) to securely support the equipment. Never work under equipment supported only by a jack.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Equipment: Safely lift and support the equipment so the wheel requiring the spacer is off the ground.
- Remove the Wheel: Loosen and remove the lug nuts securing the wheel. Carefully remove the wheel from the hub.
- Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the hub and the wheel to ensure a flush fit. Remove any dirt, rust, or debris.
- Install the Spacer: Place the Exmark 1-633060 Short Wheel Spacer onto the hub studs. Ensure it sits flush against the hub.
- Reinstall the Wheel: Carefully place the wheel back onto the studs, aligning it with the spacer.
- Secure the Wheel: Install the lug nuts and hand-tighten them.
- Lower Equipment and Torque: Lower the equipment to the ground. Using a torque wrench, tighten the lug nuts to the specifications provided in your equipment's owner's manual. Tighten in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
- Final Check: After a short period of operation (e.g., 1 hour), re-check the lug nut torque to ensure they remain tight.
6. Operating with the Spacer
Once installed, the wheel spacer becomes an integral part of your wheel assembly. No special operating procedures are required beyond standard equipment operation. However, it is important to be aware of potential changes in the equipment's overall width, which may affect maneuverability in tight spaces or when transporting.
Always operate your Exmark equipment according to the guidelines in your primary owner's manual. Pay attention to any unusual vibrations or noises, which could indicate an issue with the wheel assembly or spacer.
7. Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your equipment, including the wheel spacer.
- Regular Torque Checks: Periodically check the torque of the lug nuts, especially after the first few hours of operation and then at regular intervals as recommended in your equipment's owner's manual.
- Visual Inspection: Inspect the wheel spacer and surrounding components for any signs of wear, damage, cracks, or corrosion.
- Cleanliness: Keep the wheel and hub area clean to prevent debris buildup that could affect fitment or cause corrosion.
If any damage or excessive wear is observed, replace the wheel spacer immediately with a genuine Exmark replacement part.
8. Troubleshooting
Most issues related to wheel spacers can be resolved through proper installation and regular maintenance.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel wobble or vibration | Loose lug nuts, improper installation, damaged spacer or wheel. | Re-torque lug nuts. Inspect spacer and wheel for damage. Reinstall correctly. |
| Unusual noise from wheel area | Loose components, debris, or damaged parts. | Inspect for loose parts or debris. Check for proper fitment. |
| Spacer does not fit flush | Debris on mating surfaces, incorrect part for equipment. | Clean all mating surfaces. Verify part compatibility with owner's manual. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact an authorized Exmark service dealer.
