Servicing the Caster
Wheels and Bearings
The caster wheels rotate on a roller bearing supported
by a spanner bushing. If the bearing is kept well
lubricated, wear will be minimal. Failure to keep the
bearing well lubricated causes rapid wear. A wobbly
caster wheel usually indicates a worn bearing.
1. Remove the locknut and wheel bolt holding the
caster wheel to the caster fork
