Make sure tire pressure
is correct and equal in
both rear tires and front
caster tires, if pneumatic.
Make sure all nuts and
R
bolts are snug.
Make sure all spokes
and nipples are tight on
radial spoke wheels.
Use Tri-Flow Lubricant
(Tefl on® based) be-
tween all modular frame
connections and parts.
Check for proper caster
plate adjustment. See
