U. CASTER FORKS
Two-hole caster forks allow the interchanging of some casters and adjusting seat height. To adjust, loosen
the bolt and remove the caster. Either change caster size and/or position the caster upward or down-
ward in predrilled holes (1 inch apart) on caster fork. Replace bolt and tighten securely.
Use a torque setting of 75 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.
V. CASTERS (Quickie 2)
Use a torque setting of 75 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.
1. Caster Angle Adjustment
For optimum performance, the caster housing should always be at a 90º angle to the floor (perpendicular
to the ground). This adjustment is made with an eccentric (offset) attachment bolt mechanism.
a. To change the angle, place the chair on a flat surface (such as a table).
b. Remove the bolt nuts from the back side of the caster plate. The caster plate is slotted at the top
and bottom for adjustment.
c. Place a large right triangle against the table surface and the front surface of the caster bearing
housing.
d. This will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor surface.
e. Rotate the bolts independently until they fall into position.
f. When the alignment is correct, retighten the two retaining bolts.
g. Repeat the process for the other caster.
2. Caster Reversibility
The caster housing is generally mounted in a forward-facing position. If additional footrest clearance is
necessary, the caster housing can be reversed. This will position the caster housing rearward to allow
more clearance.
a. To reverse the caster housing, the left housing should be mounted on the right side of the frame.
b. The right housing should be mounted on the left side of the frame.
W. CASTERS (Quickie 2HP)
Use a torque setting of 75 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.
1. Caster Angle Adjustment
a. Place the chair on a flat surface (such as a table).
b. Loosen the two eccentric bolts that secure the caster assembly (do not remove the clevis pin).
c. Place a large right triangle against the table surface and the front surface of the caster bearing
housing.
d. This will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor surface.
e. When alignment is correct, retighten the two eccentric bolts. Repeat the process for the the
other caster.
2. Forward or Rearward Placement
a. Loosen the two eccentric bolts.
b. Remove safety cotter and clevis pin.
c. Slide caster plate forward or rearward and insert clevis pin into one of three predrilled frame
holes.
d. Tighten the eccentric bolts.
e. Replace safety cotter.
f. Repeat process for the other caster.
3. Inside Mounted
a. Reverse positions of caster assemblies.
b. Remove caster assemblies from frame (noting right positioned caster and left positioned caster).
c. Inside mount right caster on the left side and inside mount the left caster on the right side.
X. QUICK-RELEASE CASTER STEMS (OPTIONAL)
Use a torque setting of 75 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.
