ADJUSTING FRONT CASTER HEIGHT (FIGURE 20)
CAUTION
Changing the height of the front casters can affect the performance of the
wheelchair. Contact Invacare at the telephone numbers on the back of
this manual BEFORE performing this procedure.
NOTE: When changing a rear wheel/front caster to a different size and or changing the original
degree of camber of the wheelchair, it becomes necessary to adjust the front caster height so the
wheelchair frame will remain parallel to the floor.
1. Place the wheelchair on a flat surface.
2. Remove the dust cover on the fork assembly.
3. Remove the locknut that secures the front caster fork to the wheelchair frame.
4. Position a large right triangle or "L" square on the flat surface and against the caster
housing that is welded to the wheelchair frame.
5. Adjust the height of the front casters by either adding or removing spacers from the
fork stem until the wheelchair frame is parallel with the floor.
6. Reinstall locknut and dust cover onto the wheelchair.
7. Repeat this procedure for the opposite front caster.
