Castor Alignment

wheelchair difficult to steer and propel.
Alignment should be checked when rear
wheels have been repositioned or if castors
have had a heavy knock (e.g. hitting a kerb).
Adjustment
• To adjust, place the wheelchair on level ground
and loosen both M8 socket screws until castor
plate can swivel. Using a square, set castor
tube at 90 degrees to the ground and lock in
position.
• When both castors are set, ensure all screws
are tight before use.
