Installing the Anti-tilt Bars
The anti tilt bars must be tack welded BEFORE installation
of the GS2 Wheel. The GS2 Wheel contains sensitive
electronic parts that can be damaged.
The anti- tilt bar is mounted on the right rear horn as you
push the cart. This must be a rigid non-swivel horn. If your
carts have four swivel casters, do NOT use an anti-tilt bar.
The GS
2
Wheel will be mounted on the opposite front
caster from the anti-tilt bar.
Place the anti-tilt bar on the wheel horn, align the holes
over wheel axel rivets, and clamp into place. This is done
with a “C-Clamp” or a pair of “Vice-Grip” clamps. Adjust the
anti-tilt bar to one-half inch (½“) from the asphalt. Once the
anti-tilt bar is clamped in place, you will tack-weld the bar to
the horn (tack-welds should be placed on both sides of the
anti-tilt bar). If the cart is “Powder Coated”, you will need to
grind the welding area before you weld so that the weld
penetrates the metal on both the horn and anti-tilt bar.
Once the weld is complete, remove the clamp and wire
brush both sides. Apply a quick spray of paint on the welds
and any areas affected by the grinding to keep rust from
forming on the cart.
Installing the GS2 Wheel
The GS
2
wheel is pre-assembled on an industry-standard swivel caster and will be a direct replacement for one
of the two front factory installed swivel casters (typically the left front).
Remove the original caster by removing the caster nut from
the top side of the caster plate.. Once the factory installed
caster is removed, replace it with the GS
2
Wheel assembly.
Care should be taken not to over tighten the caster bolt,
which would prevent the caster from swiveling. Before
applying the lock nut to the caster bolt, Locktite should be
applied to the caster bolt.
If the GS
2
Wheel is not assembled to a swivel caster, you
may mount the wheel to a caster using the parts contained in
a Field Installation Kit. This kit includes: two (2) locking clips,
one (1) axle bolt, one (1) axle nut, and two (2) axle washers.
All shipments of GS
2
Wheels, without swivel casters will
contain a Field Installation Kit. To install, first place the
washers over the axle and onto the bearings, next place the
locking clips over the washers and onto the portion of the axle
that extends out of the bearings. Slide the bolt through the
axle, apply Locktite2 to the axle bolt, and tighten the lock nut.
Take care not to over tighten the axle nut, preventing the
wheel from rotating.
