"ALLYN CHRISTOPHER: All right, we got most of the wheels on. Now it's time--well, not moving really easily to actually adjust them to make sure that they're working their best. What I like to do here is just take the tire off. I know it came pre-assembled and it's pretty new, but this will make the whole job much much easier, okay? Do that on this one over here. 'Cause, again, the tire rubs against the small wheel and actually powers this one. So, it's going to be almost impossible to see, but in here, I'm actually trying to see where this turbine gear is engaging the wheel 'cause the water is comes down through the high-pressure pump through here to the turbine feed hose down to the turbine, which spins the turbine axle, which makes the wheels on the cleaner go round and round, round and round, round and round. So, what we're going to do now is just loosen this up a bit. Place it in there and--ah, I think we hit the sweet spot. Okay. And it's a little balancing act 'cause we'll going to do the same thing to the other wheel. And then, see if we can get that back wheel, we're working at its best. So almost there, I'm hearing the noise on this side. Again, I don't have to remove this tire because it doesn't engage with anything. But I've got this here, and these are a little loose. [INDISCERNIBLE] loose. And I'm pushing it in. There should be a little gap. You're not trying to jam it in there. You're just trying to make sure that it's just an even little gap. Now, I'm gonna--gonna let your twist on there, engage those brass barons. Oh yeah. That's it. And hopefully--oh yeah, you hear that? Listen. Now we're rolling."
