Front Or Rear Casters - Omron LD Platform User Manual

Front or Rear Casters

Check the casters every 3 months, and replace them if they show signs of cracking, excessive
wear, or any damage.
All four casters are identical, and are mounted to the platform in the same way.
NOTE: If you can lift 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 enables you to tip the
AIV on its side, so you have access to the casters underneath.
2. Remove the inner rear skin.
3. Unlatch and open the battery door skin, at the back of the platform.
The battery compartment door is lockable. 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 skins.
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.

WARNING: Magnetic fields can be hazardous to medical
implant wearers. Medical implant wearers stay back 30 cm (12
inches) from the underside of the platform (exposed during this
maintenance procedure when tipping the platform on its side).
