Description
Due to their larger size and various other engineering considerations, the Pneumatic Tire Sets are intentionally fixed. Simply pick up one end of the evaporator to point it in the direction you need to go and roll away. Never force the Pneumatic Tires to turn.
The Wheel and Tire sets are intended to stay attached to the evaporator once they are installed. Place a wedge in the wheel/tire path
to ensure that the evaporator remains stationary during operation.
Remove pans before transporting the evaporator. Otherwise, the vibrations from movement could cause the pan to shift.
Never tie guy wires directly down to your wheel/tire set. Guy wires should be extended out at least 4 feet from the evaporator. See our Backyard Set Up Series for more tips on properly securing your Stack Pipe.
Inflate Pneumatic Tires to 30 PSI or as directed on the side of tire.

The Pneumatic Tire Kit is an easy solution to transport your Smoky Lake evaporator through just about any terrain. If you boil sap outdoors but need to wheel your evaporator into a building when you’re not using it, this is for you. If you keep your evaporator in one building but seasonally transport it to another location — and back again, this is for you. The Pneumatic Tire Kit can also be left on your evaporator while using it, raising it to an even more comfortable height. Tons of convenience and versatility. Bolted on in only a few minutes!

Jim is spot on. The wheel set should only be sold in 2s. 2 of these and 2 caster wheels. It’s way too heavy fully loaded to lift unless you want to end up in the hospital. I got these wheels thinking 2 of them would be able to turn. NOPE. It’s my opinion that it’s a complete waste of money for this use. If 2 wheels pivoted then it would be fine. 185.00 wasted. If anyone wants my wheels let me know. I still have everything.

Although these wheels are a good idea they do not articulate. Picture a car with 4 wheels all moving in the same direction with no way to steer. I needed wheels to move the evaporator from my garage, onto the grass, and into the woods where I boil. These wheels will only let the evaporator move in a straight line. I called and was told the way to steer is to lift one of the ends and move it that way, that sounds good but try doing that by yourself while pulling it with a 4-wheeler for 1/4 mile. What I did was go online and buy 2 heavy duty articulating caster wheels and use the mounting bolt holes to attach them to the arch, now I have 2 articulating wheels that I can easily pull. I didn’t bother returning the wheels as I am using 2 wheels and an axle. Expensive for something that had to be modified at extra cost.
