If cart weaves from side-to-side during transport, verify
the following items and correct as necessary:
-
Hitch Brackets: Excessive gap between hitch tube bracket and
rear bar.
If gap is found, loosen hardware (A) attaching hitch bracket
to rear bar on both sides. Push brackets toward center of tool to
remove gap. Align brackets an equal distance from tool centerline.
Tighten hardware.
-
Front Caster Wheels: Reversed front-wheel mounting can cause
cart to weave.
Single Wheel Caster Assembly
CAUTION: Caster wheel arms are heavy. Use proper lifting equipment,
in good working order, to avoid severe injury or death caused by falling
caster wheel arm.
IMPORTANT: Traction-type front tires are installed in opposite
direction of usual tractor applications.
IMPORTANT: Mounting dish is offset in wheel to align centerline
of tire with caster pivot, when casters are in forward travel positions
(hubs to the rear). Select correct wheel assembly for right-hand or
left-hand application.
IMPORTANT: Dual caster wheels need to be oriented so the leading
wheel is toward the center of the machine.
With casters in forward travel positions, verify centerline
of tire (B) aligns with caster pivot.
If offset, remove wheel and reverse tire. Install wheel with
retaining ring (D) and wheel bolts (C). Torque hardware to specification.

of usual tractor applications. Tire rims are offset. Tires
are installed as close as possible to caster arm (B). Select correct
wheel assembly for right or left-hand application.
Install tires on caster wheel arm with rings (C) and lug bolts.
Verify that caster arm pivot is centered between tires. Ensure that
inner tire is leading ahead of outer tire. Tighten lug bolts to specification.
