you to slip each axle pin into the holes provided on the side of the base (Fig, 1).

With the axle pin inserted inside the base, grip the end of the axle pin as shown with an adjustable or 15/16" combination wrench. This will keep the axle from spin ning as you fasten the axle to the base with a 5/8" lock

washer, a 5/8''-l8 JAM nut, and an M12 fiat washer.

Place wheels on the axles so the valve side of hub is

facing outward.

Retain each wheel to its axle pin by tapping a push nut

onto end of axle with a mallet. Attach support legs to base as shown in Fig. 2 with M8

X 20mm hex head capscrews and flange lock nuts. Tighten with 13mm or 1/2-tnch wrench on each fas tener. Be sure legs are straight when you are finished.

ASSEMBLY

Attach wire support to two lower holes in guide handle with #10 self-drilling screws and #10 flat washers (Fig.

3). The hose minder should be to the left and gun holder to the right. Be sure loop of support is pointing upward.

Place vinyl cap onto gun holder.
