Chassis Construction:
1. Gather the welded front cross member assembly, side rails, rear cross member and rear axle
assembly, these are the base components required to begin chassis construction. Chassis width is
predetermined at 14" by width of the rear cross member to prevent front tire interference when turning.
Overall length of the chassis is 60" which may be shortened as desired.
2. Prepare the work area while choosing a clean level location clear of any combustible materials.
3. Place the two side rails on a level surface and insert rear axle assembly in each pre-drilled hole.
4. Using the rear cross member as a spacer, center the two frame rails to the front cross member
making sure side rails are square or 90 degrees to the front cross member. Tack the side rails into
place to the front cross member as shown. The steering pivot stud should be facing down. Use
caution not to weld rear cross member as this is used as a spacer only!
5. Remove rear cross member previously used as a spacer and tack weld into place between the side
rails near the rear of the chassis. Use a square to verify chassis is assembled square. Once chassis has
been tack welded together continue welding together alternating from side to side to prevent
warping.

CConstruction And Assembly
Chassis Assembly:
1. Install king pin bushings into spindles and apply a light coat of grease to the inside, top and
bottom of bushings.
2. Install spindles to frame with the 5/8"-11 x 4" bolts and locking nuts, tighten until slight drag is felt
when moving the spindle back and forth. Note: Steering arms should be located towards the back
and below the axle centerline, see Figure #1.
3. Install steering block spacer, steering block and lock nut as shown in Figure #2. Apply a small
amount of grease to steering plate spacer and tighten locknut until slight drag is felt when moving
steering block back and forth.
4. Assemble tie rod assemblies by rst installing the correct thin jam nut onto each rod end and then
completely install rod ends into threaded tubes, be aware there are LH and RH rod ends.
5. Install tie rod assemblies as shown using the four 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" bolts and lock nuts. Set steering
toe-in-out by adjusting threaded sleeves, once correct toe is set tighten locking nuts. Note: It may be
necessary to install 3/8" washers between spindle arms and tie rod ends as spacers to clear side rails
of cart, only 1/8" - 1/4" of clearance is needed when steering is moved from side to side.
6. Install handle into steering block and fasten handle in place with 1/2"-13 x 3-1/2" handle bolt and
1/2"-13 lock nut. Handle should curve out away from cart when properly installed.
7. Install grip by sliding over the open end of handle.
8. A handle retaining clip and rivets are included to secure handle to a nished box.
9. Install 3/4" I.D. x 7/8" long wheel spacers on front spindles.
10. Install wheel and tire assemblies with valve stems facing out and retain with four 3/4"-10 lock nuts.
