Castor Operation
The castors can be locked so that
the wheel cannot move forwards or
reverse nor will the castor fork
swivel. To lock the castor press
down on the locking tab with a foot
(as shown). To release press the
other side of the locking tab with a
foot. Unless the chair is fitted with
24” wheels, it is recommended that
the castors are always locked when
the chair is stationary.
Note: If fitted with 24” rear wheels,
it is essential that the rear castors
are locked and pointing forward. If
unlocked or locked at an angle they
will interfere with the rear wheels.
Castor Adjustment
The height of the chair and seat can be
altered by adjusting the castor height. To
adjust the castor height, remove the ‘E’ clip
or nut and bolt (arrowed). Reposition the
castor stem to the required position and
reattach the ‘E’ clip or nut and bolt. Repeat
for the other 3 castors ensuring they are all
set at the same height.
Note:
If the chair is fitted with the 24” rear wheels, the axle
bracket height should also be altered so that the rear
castors are nearly touching the ground when the 24”
wheels are fitted.
Models will be supplied with either ‘E’ clips or a nut and
bolt to secure the castor. ‘E’ clips do not require any
tools for height adjustment, whereas the nut and bolt
solution requires a spanner and allen key.
