Caster Fork Adjustment
Interchanging casters can easily be done with
dual hole caster forks. Currently, 3”, 5” , 6” and
7” casters are available for use. A smaller fork
is used with the 3” caster only. To adjust,
loosen the bolt and remove the caster.
Change the caster and/or position the caster
upward or downward in pre-drilled holes on
the caster fork. Replace the bolt and tighten
securely.
To change the angle of the caster, consult
your healthcare dealer.
Wheel Lock Adjustment
When the rear wheel is repositioned, it is
important that the wheel lock is readjusted
also.
1. Adjustment can be made by loosening the
1/4-20 x 1” button head screws and sliding
the wheel lock assembly along the frame
tubing so that the wheel lock contacts the
tire in the locked position. Continue to
adjust until the knurled grip handle embeds
into the tire approximately 1/4” when in the
locked position. Tighten the screw until
wheel lock is snug to frame tube.
Note: The caster housing should always be at
a 90º angle to the floor to ensure
optimum performance.
Wheel locks are not designed to slow the
chair down when it is moving. When the
chair is stopped, engaging properly ad-
justed wheel locks will prevent the rear
wheels from turning.
