Please read this manual thoroughly before assembly and use to ensure proper function and to prevent injury or damage to the equipment.
2. Safety Instructions
While no specific safety warnings were provided with the product description, general safety practices are crucial when handling and installing equipment accessories. Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as sturdy gloves and safety footwear, during installation and maintenance.
- Ensure the single-axle engine is turned off, cooled down, and secured against accidental starting before beginning any installation or maintenance work. Disconnect the spark plug wire if applicable.
- Work on a stable, level surface to prevent the engine from tipping over.
- Use only the specified tools for assembly.
- Keep children and bystanders away from the work area.
- Inspect all components for damage before assembly. Do not use damaged parts.
- Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely according to the instructions.
3. Package Contents
The GÜDE 95182 GDB 62 Double Wheel Set package typically includes the following components:
- Two (2) 4.00-8 wheels
- Two (2) adapters for mounting
Please verify that all components are present and undamaged before proceeding with installation. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your dealer or GÜDE customer service.
4. Setup and Assembly
The GÜDE 95182 GDB 62 Double Wheel Set is designed for straightforward installation on compatible GÜDE single-axle engines (models 95180 and 95187). The adapters facilitate the attachment of the additional wheels to the existing axle system.
4.1 Preparation
- Park the single-axle engine on a firm, level surface.
- Ensure the engine is switched off and the spark plug wire is disconnected to prevent accidental starting.
- Allow the engine to cool down if it has been recently operated.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Identify the existing wheels on your single-axle engine. The double wheel set will be mounted alongside these.
- Position one adapter onto the axle next to an existing wheel. Ensure it aligns correctly with the mounting points.
- Attach one of the 4.00-8 double wheels to the adapter using appropriate fasteners (not explicitly mentioned if included, assume standard hardware or engine's existing). Tighten all bolts securely.
- Repeat the process for the other side of the engine, installing the second adapter and double wheel.
- Verify that both double wheels are securely attached and that the track width has been extended to approximately 620 mm (outer measurement).

5. Operating Instructions
The GÜDE 95182 GDB 62 Double Wheel Set significantly enhances the operational characteristics of your single-axle engine, particularly in challenging conditions.
- Increased Stability: The extended track width provides greater stability, reducing the risk of tipping on uneven terrain or slopes. This is especially beneficial when operating attachments that shift the center of gravity.
- Improved Traction: With four wheels in contact with the ground instead of two, the overall contact area and weight distribution improve traction, which is advantageous in soft soil, muddy conditions, or when pulling heavy loads.
- Enhanced Comfort: The added stability can lead to a more comfortable operating experience, as the engine is less prone to sudden movements or imbalances.
Always operate the single-axle engine according to its primary instruction manual. The double wheel set is an enhancement and does not alter the fundamental operating procedures of the engine itself.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GDB 62 Double Wheel Set.
- Tire Pressure: Periodically check the tire pressure of all four wheels. Maintain the pressure recommended for the original wheels of your single-axle engine, or as specified on the tire sidewall. Incorrect tire pressure can affect stability and traction.
- Fastener Tightness: Regularly inspect all bolts and nuts securing the wheels and adapters. Tighten any loose fasteners to prevent detachment during operation.
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, clean the wheels and adapters to remove debris, soil, and corrosive substances. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bearings or seals.
- Inspection: Visually inspect the tires for wear, cuts, or punctures. Check the wheel rims and adapters for any signs of damage, cracks, or deformation. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the wheel set in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
