1. If assembling using 6” center caster, install three (3) caster spacers (J) between each brake pivot channel (H) and center caster
mount plate, as shown in Figure 3. Position the brake pivot channels (H) on the center caster mounting plate and secure using
5/16” X 2” carriage bolts (B) and 5/16” hex-lock nuts (A), as shown in Figure 1 (note: only tighten enough so the brake pivot
channels are not loose).
2. Position the finished brake component (I) into the brake pivot channels (H) and install only the 5/16” X 2” hex head bolts (B).
Now check spacing between finished brake component (I) and the center casters as shown in Figure 2, if spacing does not fall
between specified value use a rubber mallet to reposition the pivot channels to achieve the specified value. If you’re unable
to achieve the specified value, loosen the center caster bolts (which will require 9/16” tools) and position the center until the
specified value is achieved and re-tighten the bolts.
3. Once the spacing is achieved, tighten the exposed bolts that secure the brake pivot channels (H) to the center caster mounting
plate, remove the finished brake component (I) and tighten the remaining bolts.
4. Re-position the finished brake component (I) into the brake pivot channels (H) and install the 5/16” X 2” hex head bolts (B)
and secure them with 5/16” hex-lock nuts (A), making sure not to over tighten (the finished brake component (I) should
pivot freely).
5. Using a wrench and socket, tighten one (1) 5/16” hex-lock nuts (A) onto the 5/16 X 1-3/4” hex head bolts (C) until the nut
bottoms-out.
6. Position the brake lock (G) over the holes as shown in Figure 1 and using the bolt from step five in the hole closest to the deck
sheet with a 5/16” flat washer between the bolt with the nut on it and the brake lock and secure it with a 5/16” hex-lock nut
(A), making sure the brake lock is at least touching the finished brake component bar. Next fasten the 5/16”x 3/4” hex head
bolts (D) using a washer between the bolt and the brake lock with 5/16” hex-lock nuts (A).
7. Slip the extension spring (F) over the bottom 5/16” X 1-3/4” hex head bolts (C) and using pliers extend the spring and attach to
the finished brake component spring bracket, one spring on each side.
8. Engage the brake by pulling up on the finished brake component and make sure the center casters do not rotate prior to
using and make sure all bolts are tightened securely. If the finished brake component does not engage one or both center
casters, go to re-adjust procedure described in step 2.
9. Adjustment shims are provided to compensate for tire wear when the brake force is insufficient. Add shim between brake
angle bar and tire to close the gap. Store in shown location when not in use.
NOTE: Tighten all bolts securely. (Recommended: 5/16” bolts should be tightened to a torque value of 10-11 ft.-lbs., 3/8” bolts
should be tightened to a torque value of 23 ft.-lbs., and 1/4" bolts should be tightened to 8-10 ft.-lbs., except as noted above.)

1.
Clamp the brake pivot channels (H) on the center caster mounting plate as shown
in Figure 4 and back drill through the center caster mounting plate.
2. Then layout the holes as shown in SECTION A-A of Figure 4, it is recommended to
center punch before drilling holes.
3. Layout and drill the holes as shown in Section B-B of Figure 4.
