INSTALLATION OF WHEELS
Attach the wheels to the reservoir tank as follows.
See figure 2.
1. Pry off the hub caps which are attached to the
wheels. Remove one tapered roller bearing from
inside each wheel. See inset, figure 2.
2. Remove the cotter pin, hex slotted nut and one
flat washer from each axle (leave spacers and
two flat washers in place on axles).
3. Place one wheel on each axle, with the valve
stem facing outward.
4. Pack the tapered roller bearings with wheel
bearing grease, and place one on each axle.
5. Place one flat washer removed in step 2 on each
axle. Secure with hex slotted nut. Tighten
slotted nut until snug, then back off approx­
imately 1/3 turn or until one of the slots on the
slotted nut lines up with the hole in the axle.
6. Check the assembly of the wheels. There should
be no side to side play, and the wheels should
spin freely.
7. Place hub caps in position on wheels and tap
on with a rubber mallet or plastic hammer.
