6.5 Adjusting the Caster Wheel Journal Angle (Fig. 64/65)
After the rear wheels have been mounted in the appropriate position, the caster wheel journal
angle must be readjusted. The caster adapter should be as horizontal as possible in relation to
the ground to ensure optimal driving behaviour of the wheelchair. The caster adapter allows for
continuous angle adjustment.
First, remove the protective caps from the caster adapters (Fig. 64, item A). Next, loosen the
two cap screws (Fig. 65, item B) on the inside and then the cap screw on the outside (Fig. 64,
item C). Place the level from the tool pouch on the caster adapter (Fig. 65).
Using a large screwdriver, screw the eccentric disk so that the caster adapter moves into hori-
zontal position. When in this position, first tighten the cap screw (Fig. 64, item D) followed by
the cap screws (Fig. 64/65, item B).
Make sure to very firmly retighten all screws and nuts after making adjustments. The
INfORMATION
torque of the cap screws (Fig. 64/65, item C) for the Avantgarde T, VR, and XXL2 is 23 Nm; for
the Avantgarde Ti 8.9 and Ti Ultra with aluminium screws, the torque is 13 Nm.
