6.3.1 Adjusting the caster journal angle
WARNING
Damage to the eccentric during adjustment work
Loss of the caster fork
► When changing the position of the caster head on the frame, check the M8 interior thread on the eccentric for
damage and replace the eccentric if necessary.
When the drive wheels have been adjusted for the user, the caster journal angle must be adjusted at the caster
wheel adapter.
The threaded axle in both caster wheel adapters should be perpendicular to the ground to ensure optimum wheel
chair driving characteristics. The caster wheel adapters permit continuous adjustment of this angle.
