A) Fit the bearing and bearing flanges (Q) from
the inside of the machine with setscrews and
nuts (see illustration). The bearings should be
turned with the flat edge inwards. Do not
tighten the nuts until the wheel axle has been
assembled.
B) Remove the handle and fit the hopper (H),
neoprene deflector (P), deflector strap (O), dial
bracket (N) and dial (M) (see illustration). Use
four 1/4" x 1" long screws (L) along the
deflector strap (O) and three 1/4" x 5/8" long
screws on the upper mounting above the
deflector strap. Make sure that the control
cable (G) is not trapped between the hopper
and the rear deck plate when assembling.
C) Replace the handle.
D) When the seed hopper is fit the first time, it is
much easier to thread the hole in the agitator
(F) before fitting the agitator. Use the
accompanying screw (V).
E) Thread the axle (T) through the bearing (Q),
the seed hopper (H), the agitator (F) and the
second bearing (Q) (see illustration). Tighten
the bearing screws that have been left loose
since point B.
F) Fit the agitator (F) on the axle (T) by aligning
the hole in the agitator with the hole in the axle
and attach using a #8-32 screw (V).
G) Fit the two bearing collars (R) on the axle. Turn
them with the smooth side outwards towards
the wheels. Lock each of the bearings (Q) on
the axle (T) using the provided bearing collar
(R) by rotating the bearing until it is locked in
place. Tighten the set screw on the bearing
collar.
H) Affix the left wheel (S) to the axle (T) with the
pin (U) (see illustration).
I) Affix the right wheel (K) to the axle in the
following order: washer (I), wheel (K), washer
