Glide Forks

I
WARNING
Always mount identical size casters and forks on both sides of your chair.
If you ignore this Warning, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.

Replacing Casters - Standard Forks

Tools Needed:
• Two 3 mm Allen Wrenches
1. Remove the two Allen screws, C Spring washers and axle that secure the caster to the fork. Use one Allen Wrench
to hold one screw in place and a second Allen Wrench to loosen the other screw. See Figure 11-6.
2. Remove the caster and spacers from the fork.
3. Install the new caster, spacers and C Spring washers onto the fork and securely tighten the two screws so there is
no space between the caster, the spacers and the fork sides. Use one Allen Wrench to hold one screw in place and
securely tighten the other screw with the second Allen Wrench.
Note: If your chair has 10 cm or 13 cm Permobil LiteSpeed casters, make sure that Spacer 2 (which is wider than Spacer 1)
is positioned on the recessed side of the caster, which should be oriented outwards when the casters are in the
trailing position.

Replacing Casters - Slipstream Single-Sided Forks

To replace the casters, use the tools and follow the instructions under "Slipstream Single-Sided Forks – Replacing
Casters" on page 11-4.

Replacing the Elastomer

Tools Needed:
• Two 3 mm Allen Wrench
1. Remove the Allen screws from the fork pivot and push out the pivot axle. See Figures 11-6.
2. Separate the two halves of the Glide fork to release the elastomer.
3. Install the new elastomer. See Figures 11-6.
4. Push firmly on the two halves of the Glide fork to facilitate reinstalling the Allen screws and pivot axle.
