Freewheel
If trencher must be moved without engine running, this feature allows it to be wheeled manually.
1. Elevate left side of trencher with jackstand or
safety blocks.
2. Remove nut from left wheel hub.
3. Horizontally align two of the three threaded holes
(A) in wheel hub with machine frame, as shown.
4. Insert bolts (supplied in operator’s manual
compartment) into threaded holes and tighten until
wheel is released from axle.
5. Remove key (B) from axle.
