I. CASTERS
Use a torque setting of 144 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.
1. Caster Angle Adjustment
For optimum performance, the caster housing should always be at a 90º angle to the floor (perpendicular to
the ground). this adjustment is made with an eccentric (offset) attachment bolt(A).
a. to change the angle, place the chair on a flat surface (such as a table).
b. Remove the bolt nuts from the back side of the caster plate. the caster plate is slotted at the top and
bottom for adjustment.
c. Place a large right triangle against the table surface and the front surface of the caster bearing housing.
d. this will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor surface.
e. Rotate the eccentric bolts(A) independently until they fall into position.
f. When the alignment is correct, retighten the two retaining bolts.
g. Repeat the process for the other caster.

2. Caster Reversibility
the caster housing is generally mounted in a forward-facing position. if additional footrest clearance is necessary,
the caster housing can be reversed. this will position the caster housing rearward to allow more clearance.
a. to reverse the caster housing, the left housing should be mounted on the right side of the frame.
b. the right housing should be mounted on the left side of the frame.
NOTE– changing the caster to the trailing position will change the stability of the wheelchair. Prior to use
ensure rider can safely operate the wheelchair.
J. ARMREST RECEIVER ATTACHMENT
1. Mounting

b. Using a 10mm wrench install fasteners (E) . torque to 144 in-lbs.
c. install armrest(A) into receiver (B) to ensure proper alignment. loosen and retighten fasteners (D) as
needed.

10mm wrench.
b. With the armrest assembly in the receiver (B), press firmly on the outside of the receiver.
c. Maintain pressure on the receiver and re-tighten two of the hex bolts (D).
d. Remove the armrest assembly and re-tighten the remaining two hex bolts(D).
