STEP 1 - AXEL AND WHEEL INSTALLATION

1. Elevate pump or generator with a block

to allow enough clearance to assemble
axle and wheels. Place the block
between the ground and the bottom of
the pump or generator frame.

2. Place the axle assembly (A) beneath the

frame (B) and secure, using two short U-
bolts (Ref. No. 8) and four nuts (Ref. No.
11) on each side of the frame along with
axle assembly left (Ref. No 2.). See
Fig.3. In total, the axle assembly will
require both the right (Ref. No. 1) and left
(Ref. No. 2) axle assemblies, four short
U-bolts (Ref. No. 8) and eight nuts (Ref.
No. 11) to complete the assembly of the
axle to the pump or generator frame.

Note: The axle assembly is an adjustable
sliding axle system. It allows for minimum
widths of 13h and maximum widths of 21h.
Engine driven pumps or generators with
frame dimensions smaller or larger than
those noted above will not fit properly with
this wheel mounting kit. Do not use this
wheel mounting kit unless pump or genera-
tor frame dimensions are within the range
state above.
3. There are eight holes in each axle

assembly (Ref. No. 1 and 2). Use the
four holes furthest apart as possible for
your installation to secure each axle
assembly (Ref. No. 1 and 2) to the pump
or generator frame. The axle assembly
(Ref. No. 1 and 2) may be positioned in
different locations along the tubular
pump or generator frame rails than the
position shown below to accommodate
assembly to different pump or generator
frames.

4. Tighten Nuts (Ref. No. 11) to 75-95 in-

lbs.

5. Once axle assembly (Ref. No. 1 and 2)

is in place, secure width adjustment by
tightening bolt (Ref. No. 12) and nut
(Ref. No. 13)

6. Install each tire (Ref. No. 5) to the axle

(Ref. No. 1 and 2). The inside of the tire
(Ref. No. 5) is the side of the wheel that
has the four nuts. Install each tire (Ref.
No. 5) so that the side of the wheel that
has the nuts is facing the pump or gen-
erator frame. See Figure 3.

7. After the tires (Ref. No. 5) are placed on

the axle (Ref. No. 1 and 2), place one
plain washer (Ref. No. 9) over the axle
(Ref. No. 1 and 2) on each side of the
axle (Ref. No. 1 and 2). A total of two
washers. (Ref. No. 9) are required, one
on each side of the axle (Ref. No. 1 and
2). After the washers (Ref. No. 9) are
installed over the ends of the axle (Ref.
No. 1 and 2), insert the hairpin sprint
pins (Ref. No. 10) into the holes on each
side of the axle (Ref. No. 1 and 2). One
hair pin style cotter pin is required one
each side of the axle (Ref. No. 1 and 2)
for a total of two pins. (Ref. No. 10). Pins
must be installed properly (See Figure
3), as improperly installed pins may
cause washer and tires to come off dur-
ing pump or generator transport.

STEP 2 - INSTALL HANDLES

1. The pump or generator and frame, with

the axle and wheels installed, will need
to be tilted forward slightly to assemble
the handles (Ref. No. 3 and 4). Carefully
block and secure the pump or generator
and axle assembly so that pump or gen-
erator will not fall forward during handle
assembly.

2. The handles (Ref. No. 3 and 4) should

be installed on the pump or generator
and frame assembly (See Fig. 4).

3. Place each handle (Ref. No. 3 and 4) on

the bottom tubular support frame as
shown (Item C) in Figure 4.

Note: Handles should tilt slightly outwards,
not inwards, when assembled to pump or
generator frame. This allows for easy
access and maneuver ability of operator
during pump or generator transport.

4. Attach each handle (Ref. No. 3 and 4) to

the pump or generator frame using two
of the longer U-bolts (Ref. No. 7), two
handles (Ref. No. 6) and two nuts (Ref.
No. 11) See Fig. 4, and reference items
(C) and (D).

5. Each handle (Ref. No. 3 and 4) requires

two long U-bolts (Ref. No. 7), two handle
brackets (Ref. No. 6) and four nuts (Ref.
No. 11).

6. Tighten nuts (Ref. No. 11) to 75 - 95 in-

lbs.

Maintenance

1. Inspect pump or generator frame and

wheel kit prior to every use for loose
nuts and bolts. Tighten as needed.

2. Inspect tires for damage and replace as

necessary.

3. Keep unit clean.
4. Wheel bearings are sealed ball

bearings. No grease or oil is required to
lubricate wheeling bearing.
