Adjustments
(continued)
Caster Fork Adjustment
Interchanging casters can easily be done with
dual hole caster forks. Currently, 3”, 5” & 6”
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.
Note: When changing the size of the caster
wheel, it will also be necessary to change the
size of the large Drive wheel in order to keep
the wheelchair frame parallel with the floor.
Wheel Lock Adjustment
When the large Drive 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.
Warning: Wheel locks are not designed to
slow the chair down when it is moving.
When the chair is stopped, engaging
properly adjusted wheel locks will prevent
the Drive wheels from turning.
