Appendix

Replacing the Wheel-Axle Assemblies (PASCO ME-6957A - set of four)

Warning! When the baseplate is removed, the wheel-axle assemblies may pop upward because they are supported on 

compressed springs. Pull the baseplate with one hand and cover the wheel-axle area with the other hand. This will help 

keep the wheel-axle assembly from popping out.

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws from the 

non-plunger end cap.

NOTE: The screws that connect the end cap to the body of 

the Plunger Cart are thread-forming screws and may require 

substantial force to remove and reinstall. A #1 Phillips point 

screwdriver is recommended.

2. Position the Plunger Cart with the baseplate facing 

upward. 

3. Begin to slide the baseplate out of the cart. Be careful to 

“catch” each wheel-axle assembly as it is uncovered. 

4. With the car in a stable position, lift the wheel-axle 

assemblies from the grooves.

NOTE: Be sure to keep the components such as springs, 

plunger, and magnets in their proper orientation. Rearranging 

or moving any items could change the operational capability 

of the Plunger Cart.

5. Place the new wheel-axle assemblies over the suspen

-

sion springs.

6. Push the rear axle down against the springs first, and 

slide the baseplate back into a position that covers the 

wheel-axle assembly. 

7. Push the front axle down second, and slide the baseplate 

all the way back into its original position. 

8. Replace the non-plunger end cap with the two screws.
