1. Put the metal strap plates over either
end of the axle.
The strap [9C-a] is used to pull the cart along as you
work.
Angle the plates [9C-b] inward when mounting them
on the axle [10C] as shown, and don’t twist the strap.
Put the wheels [17C] on either end of the axle [10c].
Insert the lynch pins [16c] and flip them into the locked
position.
The pivot arm [7C] is unidirectional, with a
spring-loaded end that mounts towards the cart’s axle
[10C]. Check that the spring is facing the opposite
direction before you insert the throttle extension arm.
2.
Put the wheels on the axle and insert
the lynch pins.
3.
Put the throttle-extension arm and
pivot arm together, and set the
locking pin.
The throttle-extension [6C]/pivot arm [7C] is adjust-
able in length: set the pin [8C] accordingly.
4.
Mount the pivot/throttle-extension
arm onto the axle.
When using the mini-trencher, the pivot/throttle-ex-
tension arm [6C + 7C] is used to push the nose of the
trencher down, into the ground, while driving the en-
gine.
Locate the clevis pin [15C] before you begin.
A. Push the pivot arm [7C] in, depressing the
spring, to set the clevis pin [15C].
B. Set clevis pin by passing it thru both sides
of the pivot plate [14C], thru the slot in the
pivot arm [7C], and thru the handle mount
bar [13C], while the spring is depressed.
This may take a couple tries.
Don’t worry which slot in the pivot plate the pin passes
through; more about that in Adjusting the Cart Arm,
below.
