Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the wheelbarrow is placed on a flat, stable surface and properly supported so that the wheels are off the ground. Remove the existing axle by loosening the mounting hardware or removing the split pins/linchpins as required by your specific barrow frame.
Compatibility Checklist:
- Verify the width between your barrow frame mounting points is compatible with a 700mm axle.
- Ensure your wheel hubs have a 20mm bore to accommodate the axle diameter.
- Lubricate the axle with a general-purpose grease during installation to allow the wheels to rotate freely and to prevent corrosion.
- Periodically check the axle for signs of bending or wear if the barrow is consistently used near its maximum load capacity.
