a)
Position the kart safely at an ergonomically suitable height (e.g. with KHB 250 lifting platform).
b)
Apply assembly paste to the front axle steering knuckles.

c)
Slide the rear wheels onto the wheel centre. Slide the front wheels onto the steering knuckles. Ensure that
the wheels do not become jammed or misaligned and prevent damage to the threads.

d)
Rear axle: Mount the three hexagon nuts and tighten them with the prescribed torque (see
e)
Front axle: Mount the hexagon nut and tighten it a little. Turn the wheel to check whether it rotates freely. If
the wheel rotates freely, tighten the hexagon nuts further and check again for free rotation. If the wheel does
not rotate freely, the hexagon nut has been tighten too far. In this case, increase the axial bearing play
(max. permissible axial bearing play: 0.5 mm). Loosen the hexagon nut and check against for free rotation.
f)
Adjust the hexagon nut so that the wheel rotates freely.
Proceed accordingly to mount the second wheel.
