4. Attach the Wheels
First, align the wire harness, then attach the rear caster
wheel and the front wheels.
•
Thread the wire harness underneath the rear mounting
plate (Figure 3). This helps keep the wire harness from
flopping around once you turn the Cart over.
Threading the wire harness might prove a little tricky;
just stick with it.
•
Remove any kinks and twists from the wire harness
once it’ s through.
•
Position the rear caster wheel over the receiving holes
in the rear mounting plate on the lower bucket
(Figure 3). The caster plate aligns lengthwise with the
mounting plate. If the holes don’t align, try twisting
the plate a quarter turn.
•
Open the clear hardware bag. First place a 1/4" lock
washer on the 1/4" x 1" screw, then a 1/4" large flat washer.
Insert a screw and washer through each of the holes on the caster
plate (Figure 3).
•
Use your hands to align and loosely screw in the screws.
Once all four are loosely screwed in, tighten them down
snugly with a Phillips screwdriver. Again, don’t over-tighten
them.
•
On each front wheel, find the side stamped INSIDE (look on the
wheel’s hub). Slide that side of the wheel onto the drivetrain.
Align the finger slots on the drive train’s hub with the spokes of
the wheel rim (Figure 4). Insert a wheel bolt through the wheel
bearing and into the drive train (Figure 3).
•
Use your hands to align and loosely screw the wheel bolts into the
threads inside the drive train. Tighten with an adjustable wrench (a 17-mm wrench works nicely too), but
not too tight. Make sure the wheels spin freely.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the bolt. We designed the wheel assembly to have a slight bit of “play” in it, even
when it is securely fastened.
•
Turn the completed bucket assembly over onto its wheels.
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE TURNING THE GARDEN CART OVER, IT’S LARGE AND HEAVY. HOLD THE
WIRE HARNESS AND KEEP IT OUT OF THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT DAMAGED.
Tip: Here’s an easy way to turn the Cart over, simply rotate the Cart over on its nose. Grab the lower
handles together with the wire harness, bring the rear caster up and over the drive train, onto the
bucket face, and down on the front wheels.
