Assembly
Step 1:
From the set of wheels, cut out the following and trim off any burrs:
(2) large wheels (with teeth)
(2) large wheels (no teeth)
(6) medium-sized wheels (no teeth)
The remaining wheels are not used for this application. However, the wheels with sprockets can be modified
and used if there is a tread alignment problem; for details refer to the “Troubleshooting the Tread” section
on page 4.
