besides the following, contact your Walker dealer.
Battery Service
The battery is a completely sealed, non serviceable
battery.

mounted in the frame. A loose battery may cause
damage to the case resulting in acid leakage and se-
vere damage to the machine. A hazard may be cre-
ated by damage to critical working parts and safety
systems.

2. Fit the axle spacer tube through the wheel hub,
position the spacer washer on each side of the
hub (if used), and fit the assembly into the wheel
fork.

wheel fork with the bolt head to the outside and
install the 3/8-16 in. Keps nut.
4. Tighten the bolt and nut until the axle spacer
tube bottoms against the inside of the wheel
fork (will not turn) while the wheel and spacer
washers (if used) spin freely without binding.
