If any parts are missing or damaged
contact Customer Service. 

Do not assemble until you have all the
parts.

1. Insert the front and rear caster feet into

the bottom of drum as shown. Light
taps with a mallet or hammer may be
needed to fully seat both caster feet.

2. Install (4) #10 x 1-3/4” screws into

matching holes on both front and rear
caster feet, securing them to the
bottom of the drum. Tighten screws
until just snug. Do not over tighten as
this may tend to deform the caster feet.

3. Insert the caster stem into each of the

caster feet, as shown.

4. Push on the caster until the ball on the

caster stem is inserted all the way into
the socket. You will be able to hear the
ball snap into the socket and the caster
will swivel easily when positioning is
correct.
