REPLACING FRONT CASTERS (FIGURE 2)
WARNING
If converting from six-inch casters to eight-inch casters or vice versa, the
fork assemblies MUST be replaced. Refer to INSTALLING/REPLACING
FORK ASSEMBLIES in this section of the manual. In addition, there are
SEAT-TO-FLOOR height adjustments that must be made. A qualified
technician MUST perform these adjustments if this is the case.
Make sure both front casters are the same size and are installed into the
same respective mounting hole BEFORE using the wheelchair, otherwise
injury may occur.
NOTE: If replacing the same size front caster, note the mounting position on the fork assembly for
proper reinstallation of the NEW front caster.
1. Remove the hex screw, washers and locknut that secure the front caster to the fork.
NOTE: Washers are only used with 6 and 8-inch casters with precision bearings.
2. To reinstall the new front caster onto the fork, reverse STEP 1.
