Instructions

Step1: Measuring and Adjusting the Backbone

After cutting the PVC into one and a half inch, then again try to fix the two PVC and take the measurement of the final PVC, where three feet is recommended. Then
take the length of the two wheels and subtract measurement of the axle. Subtract the length of the axle from that of the thickness of washers and that of the bolt.
Then the length of pipe and T’S should be subtracted.

Step2: Test Fit the Assembly

After getting the required measurement from the initial step then try to fit them to see if the model is becoming what you want. All those pieces together should be
12 to 24 inches if you add that measurement of T’S.

Step3: Drilling the Caps

Those holes that are drilled in the caps should have the same size to that of the axle. These enable it to be easily replaced when it undergoes wear and tear of
time.

Step4: Glue the Parts

When gluing different parts, you should start with legs, and the brace and the PVC T’S should face one another. And the axle should meet the pipe at the lower part.
At the top, the .T’S should hold top brace,and cleaned then glued together. While the last T’S should hold the cradle perpendicularly.

Step5:Attach the Wheels and Forward Support Arms

Push the axle and wheel cap together and thread the washers and put them together, as you try to move the wheels freely, as you attach forward arms with caps at the
end.

Step6: Make handles

Glue the four feet PVC pipe at the end top of T’S. Clean them and glue them with 90 degrees elbow cap before gluing 18 inches pipe between the elbows.

Step7: Attach the Foam Swim Noodles

After that, you can envelop the noodles in the PVC pipe handle and zip them using the zip ties to ensure that they remain firmly attached to one another without
moving.
