GrandSlam Range User Manual | Procedure 5
Procedure 5 & 6
Procedure 5 - Castor Wheels and Forks
The castor wheels at the front of the wheelchair will wear just like care tyres and should be replaced when they visibly look
worn or cracks appear.
5.1: Changing castor wheels
Using 2 x 4mm allen keys from the toolkit, remove 1 of the 2
screws in the centre of the castor wheel, as shown in Fig 11.
Remove the screw and slide out the castor axle with the other
screw still attached, noting any spacers and their positions.
Install the new castor wheel and slide the castor axle back
through and secure with the final screw.
5.2: Removing the castor fork
Remove cap at the top of the castor housing. Using the socket
from the toolkit, release and remove the locking nut. This will
release the castor fork, and take note of any spacers and their
positions.
NOTE:
Castor Bearings must be fitted by an authorised dealer. Failure
to do so will result in invalid warranty on the parts.
Procedure 6 - Footrest
The footrest may need adjusting when you first use the wheelchair, if circumstances change or if fasteners come loose. It is
important to periodically check the height and adjust as required.
6.1: Adjust footrest height
Before adjustment, take note of the height you have or
require and mark if necessary. Using a 4 or 5mm allen key
from the toolkit, release the 2 screws in each footrest clamp
Fig. 12 (A). Reposition the footrest in the correct height and
tighten the screws securely.

CAUTION:
!
DO NOT replace the front castor forks or castor
wheels with a different size other than what was
originally supplied on the chair.
By changing to a different size castor fork or castor
wheel will have an adverse effect on the running
of the chair and the end users balance causing
personal injury.
6.2: Adjust the footrest angle
With an adjustable angle footrest, release the 2 x clamp
screws in the centre of the footplate Fig. 12 (B) using a 4mm
allen key and 10mm spanner from the toolkit. Reposition to
the correct angle and tighten the screws securely.
