FAQs
What does an offset hub mean?
An offset hub means the center tube (where the axle goes) is not flush with the center of the wheel, resulting in a longer extension on one side compared to the other.
Can I use this on a lawnmower?
This wheel is specifically designed for sack trucks and carts; it is not recommended for lawnmowers as the weight distribution and mounting requirements differ.
Do I need to buy bearings separately?
No, this wheel comes complete with bearings pre-installed.
How do I determine if this will fit my cart?
Measure your current axle diameter and compare your existing wheel's hub offset depth to the dimensions of this model.
Is the rim made of plastic?
No, this product features a durable metal rim for increased longevity.
Troubleshooting
Wheel wobbles after installation
Ensure the axle nut is tightened correctly and that there are no missing washers between the frame and the wheel.
Wheel is rubbing against the cart frame
Check the orientation of the offset hub; you may need to flip the wheel so the longer side of the hub faces away from the frame.
Grinding noise during movement
Inspect the bearings for dirt or lack of grease; apply a small amount of heavy-duty bearing grease if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the existing wheel by sliding out the axle pin or unscrewing the axle nut. Compare your old wheel's hub offset to the new PetrolScooter unit to ensure they match. Slide the new wheel onto the axle and secure it firmly.
Compatibility Note: Always check your axle diameter to ensure the included bearings fit properly.
Care Instructions: Periodically inspect the bearings for debris if used in outdoor or dusty conditions. Keep the metal rim clean of corrosive chemicals and ensure the axle remains lightly lubricated to prevent seizing.
