very securely tighten both nuts into the
tube.
2.
If the bolt turns, as described above, it
may permit the nut between the wheel and
the leg to turn. The nut may then bind
against the wheel and prevent the wheel
from turning. To correct this:
a)
Identify the nut that is between the
wheel and the leg.
b)
Use a wrench to move that nut away
from the wheel, just until the wheel
can rotate forward without binding.
c)
Adjust the wheel as described in the
previous section and very securely
tighten both nuts into the tube.
