INFLATING THE TIRES
~
WARNING : DO NOT OVERINFLATE! Over inflation can cause
the tires to explode. A hand pump (bicycle pump) is highly
『 ecommended when inflating the tires. If you use a compressor ,
use with extreme ca 川 ion! These tires are small and pressure
builds quickly.
The maximum pressure for the tires is 15 PSI.
FIXING A LEAKING SWIVEL
It is normal for the swivel to leak slightly until the 0- rings are wet and have seated . If the leaking continues , you do not need to take the
cart back to the store. This is a simple problem and is easily fixed by a simple procedure :
1. If the leader hose is a 忧 ached to the swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Using either a hex key or a la『 ge screw driver, insert the tool into the hex opening and gently tighten the threaded insert to stop the
leaking . DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
3. If the unit still leaks, check that the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact custome 『 se r vice for a new hose washer or obtain
one at any hardware store.
4. If your swivel is old, the 0-rings may be worn. Contact customer service for a new set of 0-rings.
5. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem , then contact customer service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON .
