axle and rotates freely for easier turning.
For greater traction:
1. Align both wheel hub holes with inner
axle holes and insert lock pins.
For easier right turns:
1. Remove lock pin from right wheel hub.
2. Insert lock pin through outer axle hole.
For easier left turns:
1. Remove lock pin from left wheel hub.
