- Pull out the cover plug (A) and unscrew the retain-
ing nut (B). Pull out the front fork and put the be-
velled washer (C) and the bearing on the new fork.
- Mount the washers and bearings in the front fork
attachment as illustrated. Washer (C) is mounted
with the bevelled side towards the front fork. Was-
her (D) on top under the retaining nut.

any more. Loosen it 1/2-1 turn. The spring washer
then has the correct tension. It reduces the risk of
the castor starting to “wobble”.

for the wheelchair’s manoeuvrability.
Unscrew the lower attachment screw (A) about 2
turns so that the shaft (C) moves freely inside the

attachment is 90° to the floor. Always start from a
position that enables the wheel to move forward in
the rotation (D). Hold the shaft in place while the
lower attachment screw is tightened.
Risk of tipping: Always check the setting of the
the anti-tips.
Keep your eye on something vertical, e.g. a door
frame or table leg, while setting the angle.
