Mounting the mud guards The mud guard support 75 marked by an "X" has to be mounted onto the right-hand side (direction of traffic), while the bracket marked "O" 76 onto the left-hand side (direction of traffic). First attach to these supports the mud flaps 77 and the mud guards 7 with each four screws and nuts 09. Then use screws 6, serrated washers 5, bushing 6, two washers and M nut to attach the supports to the rear holes on the axle carriers.. Mounting the spring set with axle Hang both long spring leaves with their open ends to the bushing and use a screw, bushing 6, washer and M nut to screw the closed ends to the axle carrier. Press one each M nut into the hexagonal recess on the lower spring carrier. The axle 68 can now be mounted together with the spring carriers, one medium spring leaf each, a short spring leaf and screws. Ensure that the sides of the spring carrier marked by an "A" are mounted towards the wheel. Mount the wheels accordingly to chapter. before you start tightening the screws. Please ensure that the spring sets are not under tension and can move freely. The assembly of the fore rear axle has to be done in the same sense but without the mudguards.. Mounting the wheels Note: Sometimes it happens that the chromed rims sit too tightly on the axle (work tolerance); in this case remove a bit the chrome inside the rims, and lightly grease the running surface (e.g. using Vaseline). Once you have mounted the tyres 5 onto the rims 5, add the wheels onto the shaft, with the wheel nuts facing towards each other and the chromed rims towards the outside; secure with washer 0 and screw 7. The wheels should turn easily but there should not be too much play. 9 Bulb for blinker B-6- Bulb for rear light Bulb for brake light 9 Inserting the bulbs 7 0 9 57 9 57 7 --- Nut M Screw M x 8 7 Bumper, rear 57 Screw M x 0 0 Bumper bracket Note!
