Step 1.
Insert the 2 inboard splits pins into
the axle in the hole respective to
your Hobie model. See the
attached table to find what hole to
fit the pins. These pins secure
each wheel's inboard position.
Once through the axle bend the
pins as to prevent them from
falling out.
Step 2.
Slide the stainless steel washers
onto each pin followed by the
plastic washers.
Step 3.
Slide a wheel onto the axle a push
up against the plastic washer. Now
insert the plastic bearings (white
rods) between the axle and the
rim.

Step 4.
First slide a plastic washer then a
stainless steel washer along the
axle till it is also against the wheel.
When pushed against the wheel a
hole should be visible in the axle.
Take another split pin and insert
through the axle and bend as per
step 1. The second pin here fixes
the wheel in position
Step 5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to fit the
second wheel onto axle.
Step 6.
Measure from the end of the axle
and mark the position where the
hull supports will sit for your Hobie.
The approximate positions are
given in the table attached. Further
"fine tuning" may be needed to get
the supports in the perfect
position.
Step 7.
Take your hull supports and
loosely attach the stainless steel
strap (with rubber padding) using
the bolts and washers supplied.
The bolts simply screw into a
thread in the support. Do this for
both supports.
Step 8.
Slide the supports onto the axle to
your marked position and tighten
with 13mm wrench.
Step 9.
Pass the rope (used to tie the Cat
Trax to your Hobie to ensure they
do not slip out in boggy conditions)
through the large hole drilled and
tie a knot small enough to fit inside
the axle. The long tail should then
hang out of the axle through the
hole.
Step 10.
Using the black plastic plugs (one
for each end) plug the axle using a
hammer or similar to fit.
