GAP
After assembling any wheel to the axles, please check the gap
between the screw thread and the collapsible (refer to below
picture), if the gap is too big, please add two or three washers inside
the wheel, But after tightening the nut outside the wheel, please turn
the wheel by your finger to check if the wheel can run smoothly, this
is very important, because if the wheel can run smoothly, it is ok, but
if the nut press the wheel and the wheel can’t run smoothly, the
motor will be broken easily! Then you need to decrease one or two
washers to make sure the wheel can run smoothly!
