Carefully lay the charger on its front to

prepare for assembly.

Assemble the foot (Item 6) using two ¼-20

screws (Item 5) and tighten securely.

3.

Attach the two axle brackets (Item 1)

using one 10-32 screw (Item 4) in each.

The brackets should have one end

hooked into the slot in the charger base.

Be careful not to drop the brackets inside

of the charger case. Do not completely

tighten the screws (Item 4) at this time.

4.

Slide the axle (Item 2) into the brackets

(Item 1) until centered on the charger.

5.

Slide one wheel (Item 3) onto the axle with

the recessed hub facing out, as shown.

6.

Insert the pin (Item 8) through the axle hole.

7.

Repeat this process for the other wheel

and when both wheels have been pinned

to the axle, finish tightening the two axle

bracket screws (Item 4).

8.

Snap the axle caps (Item 7) onto each

wheel to cover the pin and axle.

9.

Lift the charger upright so that it rests on

the wheels and foot.

10.

Remove the two top side screws (Item 9)

from each side of the charger.

The charger assembly is now complete.

The battery clips can be clamped to the

fiberglass rod (Item 11) for convenient

storage.

15.

Do not attach the clips to the foam area of

the handle; this will damage the foam grip.
