FRONT CASTER TIRES
• Identify which control lever moves further
forward.
• Using a 9/16" wrench, slightly loosen the
bottom hex bolt (about 1/2 turn) on the
opposite control lever.
• Move both control levers to the front

control lever that you loosened to bring
the two control levers in line with each

purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire
sealer also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
