Install Axle
If the cart was shipped with only casters removed, this
topic does not apply.
There are two methods of mating the axle and frame,
depending on lifts available, number of workers, and their
experience with this type of assembly:
A. Lift the frame. Support the front end on its own park-
ing stand. Support the back end with one or more
stands located aft of the cart center of gravity, but
clear of the axle pivot, and not obstructing the path of
the axle. The pre-delivery instructions, beginning at
step 22, presume this approach.
B. Erect the axle assembly, supporting it near the cast-
ers with stands. Then hoist the frame and lower it
over the axle assembly. This method involves a large
overhead load, and is potentially more hazardous.
Refer to Figure 23
22. Hoist the cart frame high enough to swing down and
pin the parking stand (see page 14).
23. Operate the parking stand cranks to fully extend both
feet on the stand.
24. Lower the frame until the stand feet are on the
ground, and the frame is level.
25. Support the rear of the frame close to, but forward of
the front axle tube. The tube center-line needs to be
at least 56 in (142 cm) above the ground.
26. Select one:
196-652D 40P TOOLBAR PIVOT PIN
If the pin has other components pre-assembled on it,
remove all of them.
27. Select two:
196-775D SPACER WASHER
28. Hoist the:
407-427H AXLE FLOATING 1000 GAL CART
until it is upright.
As needed, rotate the axle
about its vertical axis
until the front of the axle faces in the same direction
as the front of the cart. The caster stabilizers
(see
page 29) are on the front of the axle. The red and
daytime decals (see page 5) are on the rear of the
axle.
29. Hoist the axle
, bring its pivot tube
ment with the pivot tubes
