Install the Gauge Wheels
Gauge Wheel Mounting Locations
Wheel mounting locations may be influenced by the boom configuration. Determine the appropriate location for
mounting the wheels on the boom, ensuring the wheels will not interfere with or be damaged while folding or
unfolding the booms. The wheels should be mounted outside of the boom fold, but inside of the boom
breakaway.

The appearance of the wheel axles may vary.
