BED CASTER REPLACEMENT
Tools Required:
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• Jack Stand (or equivalent)
• Needle Nose Pliers
• 1/2” Combination Wrench
Procedure:
1. Raise the bed to the highest position.
2. Position the brake/steer pedal to neutral.
3. Place a jack stand under the frame where the defective
caster is.
4. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw holding
the wheel cover and remove it.
5. Lower the bed until the caster is six inches off the ground.
6. Unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle.
7. If the caster is part of the braking mechanism, using
needle nose pliers, remove the rue ring cotter, washer, and
locking axle (A) linking the caster shaft to the locking lever.
Note
The shaft of a caster that is part of the braking mechanism must be properly oriented before mounting it to the base.
The opposite illustration shows the side of the shaft that should be facing the inside of the bed. It is the side showing the
largest hole below the cam in the neutral position.
8. Using a 1/2” combination wrench, remove the bolt and two washers (B) holding the caster to the base.
Note
Before tightening the bolt (B), make sure the shaft is completely inserted into the mounting socket.
9. Reverse the above steps to install the new caster.
