Steering and Braking
Functional Tests
Perform the following tests to verify correct operation of the C-Arm's suspension and steering components.
Front Casters
1. Verify that both front casters contact the floor and that they both roll freely.
2. Verify that both casters pivot freely on their vertical axles.
3. Make sure there are no worn or damaged areas on either caster tread.
4. Verify that there is no wobble or binding associated with either caster.
Rear Casters
1. Verify that both rear casters roll freely on the floor and that they pivot freely when you steer them right or left.
2. Make sure there are no worn or damaged areas on either caster tread.
3. Verify that there is no wobble or binding associated with either caster.
Steering
1. Verify that both rear casters respond appropriately to movement of the steering handle.
2. Verify that you can steer the rear casters 90 degrees to the left and 90 degrees to the right.
3. Verify that the casters track together when you steer them.
4. Verify that the steering handle detent for "straight ahead" engages as it should. The steering handle should click in place
and remain in that position until you move it again.
5. Repeat step 4 for left and right steering handle detent positions.
