Front Or Rear Casters - Omron LD-60 User Manual

Front or Rear Casters

The casters should be checked every 3 months. If they show signs of cracking, excessive wear,
or any damage they should be replaced.
All four casters are identical, and are mounted to the platform in the same way.
NOTE: If you have a means of lifting the chassis of the platform enough to access
the screw that holds on the caster, you can avoid removing the payload structure
and the battery, which is only necessary to tilt the platform on its side.
1. Move the payload structure out of the way.
If the payload structure can be completely removed, do so. This step is to enable you to
tip the AIV on its side, so you have access to the casters underneath.
2. Remove the inner rear cover.
3. Unlatch and open the battery compartment door, at the back of the platform.
The battery compartment door is capable of being locked. You may need to unlock it
before opening.
4. Disconnect the battery by unplugging the two cables at the rear of the battery.
5. Remove the battery from the platform.
6. Remove the side covers.
7. Lay the body of the platform on its side, exposing the casters.
Regardless of whether your removed the battery:
1. Remove the M10 x 30 mm screw holding the caster to the platform.
The screw was installed with Loctite 263.
Retain the screw for attaching the new caster.
Chapter 8: Maintenance
WARNING: Magnetic fields can be hazardous to pacemaker
wearers. Pacemaker wearers stay back 30 cm (12 in.) from the
underside of the platform, which is exposed during this main-
tenance procedure when the platform is tipped on its side.
