Remove the dust coverby remov!ngthe two rivets
which fasten itto the wheel housing.(It isnot necessary
to remove the dust cover ifyou are onlycleaningand
lubricatingthe chain and sprockets.)
Remove the retainingringsand washers which holdthe

Remove the chainand bothsprockets, holdingthem in
positionand slidingthem offbothofthe shafts. (Lookfor
the drivepin,which may fall out of the brushshaft when
the ratchetsprocketis removed.) See figure 28.
To reassemble, insertthe drive pinthroughthe hole at
the end of the brush shaft. Make sure the pinslides

both sprockets back onto the shafts.
Lightlygrease the axle and then reassemble the wheel.
The brushes should rotate only during forward rotation
of the wheel. If the brushes are driven (rotated) by both
