Installing the Kaye Walker wheels

The leg extention were removed for shipping. Install them as follows

1. Remove the two nuts and bolts from each leg extension tube
2. Each leg extension has a sticker that identifies its location in the frame. Telescope each leg extension into the appropriate location; rotate the leg extension until holes C are aligned and so that the plate to which the caster attaches protracts outward and runs parallel with the ground
3. Install the hardware that y removed from the leg into holes C and tighten securely. When doing this, the bolt-head should recess into the large hole on the outside of the leg. The nut should be securely attached on the inside of the leg
