Examining The Wheels
A fully loaded pedestal can weigh up to 845 lb (384 kg). Therefore, it is essen-
tial that the pedestal is not driven over holes or sharp objects that would cause
substantial impact to the wheel assemblies.
Once a month, remove the wheel covers (as described earlier in this chapter) and
check the wheels and gear train for any possible damage due to abuse such as
riding over sharp objects.
If there is any obvious wheel or gear damage, it should be repaired immediately
by replacement of damaged parts. Also, the cause of damage should be
researched and avoided in the future.
