Installing Caster Wheels - Physipro XL 5 Owner's Manual

ENGLISH

Installing caster wheels

1. Determine the correct position of the caster
wheel (see section Front Seat-to-Floor Height).
2. Insert screw A in the appropriate adjustment
hole with spacers B placed in between the
caster wheel and the fork.
3. Install nut C onto screw A and tighten with two
13mm wrenches.
Note - Once tightened, make sure the wheel rotates easily.
WARNING
Changing a front caster wheel for a wheel with a different width may
•
require replacing the fork.
After changing the position of the caster wheels, it is important to
•
reposition the caster stem housings to ensure they are level with the
ground. This will facilitate manual propulsion and ensure the wheelchair
moves in a linear trajectory.
If your wheelchair is equipped with pneumatic caster wheels, check tire
•
pressure weekly, as recommended in the Maintenance Checklist. Never
use your wheelchair without properly inflate tires, the recommended tire
pressure is indicated on the outer tire. Overinflated tires can burst, while
under inflated tires can deform. Tire deformation can cause the wheel
to spin unexpectedly, this can potentially lead to a loss of control of
your wheelchair. Proper inflation will extend the lifespan of your
tires and improve ease-of-use.
