Fixing a Floating Caster
TiLite ® OM000007 - Rev. B
1. Place the wheelchair on a smooth, level surface.
2. Make sure that all tires are properly inflated, that the
camber tube is properly centered on the frame side
to side, that the camber tube is straight relative to
the rear of the frame, that the toe-in/toe-out is
correctly set up, and the angle adjustable casters
are square to level surface. All of these adjustments
are explained elsewhere in this Manual.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the Allen Screws in the
camber tube clamps as shown in Figure 114. Note:
Figure 114 depicts the camber tube clamps on the
TR. If you have a different model, locate the
corresponding Allen Screws that secure the camber
tube clamp to the frame and the camber tube to the
camber tube clamp.
4. Loosen, but do not remove, the Allen Screws in the
footrest clamps as shown in Figure 115. Note:
Figure 115 depicts the footrest clamps on the TR
Series. If you have a different model, locate the
corresponding screws that secure the footrest
assembly to the frame.
5. Make sure your footrest is set to your desired seat-
to-footrest measurement, and, using a ruler, make
sure the left and right sides of the footrest are the
same distance to the level surface.
6. If the above adjustments correct the floater, securely
tighten all screws. If not, proceed to steps 7 through
9 below.
7. While applying gentle downward pressure on the
top of floating caster barrel, securely tighten the
Allen Screw in the footrest clamp on that side of the
chair.
8. Securely tighten all Allen Screws on the camber
tube clamps, starting with the screws that secure the
camber tube to the camber tube clamp (do not start
with the screws that secure the clamp to the frame).
9. Check to make sure all of the wheels are flat on
your level surface and that neither front caster is
"floating". If all wheels are flat and you have no
floaters, securely tighten the remaining screws and
your set up is complete. If you still have a floating
front caster, then continue with steps 10 through 13.
10. Loosen, but do not remove, the Allen Screw on the
footrest clamp only on the side of the chair with the
floating caster.
11. Place a wood block under the other caster wheel
(which is not floating) as shown in Figure 116.
12. Apply gentle downward pressure on the caster
wheel that is floating. It is advisable that you have
an assistant to place downward pressure on the
opposite side of the chair at the backrest when
making this adjustment.
13. Remove the wood block and check to see if the
caster still floats. If the caster no longer floats,
securely tighten the Allen Screw on the footrest
clamp. If the caster still floats, or if the other caster
starts to float, repeat steps 10 through 12 until the
caster no longer floats.
