Optional Casters - F3-7, F3-14, and F3-27 models (For F3-42 see supplemental
manual provided with that product)
To assemble the casters, begin by pre-assembling the brackets as shown in Fig. 15 using two ¼-20 X
½” long bolts and washers. It is recommended that you install all of the hardware finger tight first, and
tighten the assembly when all fasteners are in place. This will allow slight adjustments of position as
needed for ease of assembly. Insert the large carriage bolts through the bracket and into the hole in the
caster. Place a lock washer and nut on the bolt and finger tighten as shown in Fig 16. Invert your
FermenatorTM and place on a soft surface to prevent scratching the lip. Place a caster assembly over
each leg and hold in place with two ¼-20 X ¾” long bolts as shown in Fig. 17. Do not install nuts or
washers at this time. Place the leg braces on the inside of the leg one at a time, installing washers and
nuts on the bolts finger tight as shown in Fig. 18. Note that the braces go on the inside of the leg.
Tighten all of the fasteners at this time, and invert the Fermenator onto the wheels. The wheels are
non-marking to protect your floors, and feature a wheel lock to keep the unit in place and prevent
accidental movement.
Warning: Keep all wheels locked at all times unless moving the unit. Be sure all obstacles are out of the
path of the Fermenator, especially small objects which will wedge under the wheels and cause it to
suddenly stop moving. This will present a tipping hazard! While moving, keep both hands on the unit,
and move slowly to prevent accidental tipping. When the unit is in its final location, lock all the wheels
by depressing the wheel lock (Fig. 19) with your foot.
