Attaching the treadle support bar
Remove the leg bolt, washer and small rod from the front leg of the wheel.
Remove the short rod from the bolt, and insert the leg bolt with the washer through
the hole in the middle of the treadle support bar. Replace the short rod on the leg
bolt, then insert the leg bolt into the hole in the front leg. Align the short rod with
the slot in the front leg. Using the 4mm hex wrench, screw the leg bolt into the bar-
rel nut glued into place in the cross brace.
Attaching the treadles
Lay the wheel on its back on a table, tilted to either side. Use a towel or blanket
to protect the table and the wheel from scratches.
Slide the left (shorter) treadle into place, allowing the treadle to hang off the
edge of the table. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the treadle hinge to the trea-
dle using the short screws in the small bag. Insert the screw at the far right and fas-
ten loosely, then insert the screw at the far left. Tighten the screw only until it stops
turning. Go back and tighten the first screw, then insert the remaining three screws.
Be sure not to overtighten the screws. Repeat for the right treadle.
Attaching the treadle support brace
Remove the leg bolt. Place the washer and the treadle support brace onto the
leg bolt, then insert the leg bolt through the treadle support bar and short rod and
into the front leg. Make sure that the short rod is aligned in the slot in the front
leg and that the support brace angled edge is at the top. Tighten the leg bolt only
by hand. Use the 1” screws to attach the brace to the front of the treadle sup-
port bar (see diagram). Center the treadles between the back legs of the wheel. If
necessary, the treadle support bar can slide a bit to the left or right to center the
treadles. Tighten the leg bolt with the 4mm hex wrench.
