Caster Brakes
Inspect the caster brakes seasonally. Replace the
UHMW piston (1) if its length is less than 32 mm.
Also replace the piston if missing, damaged, tilted, or
the top of the piston is visible.
Set bolt reveal (2) (brake spring tension) to 54 mm for a
new piston, measured from beneath the bolt head to the
top of the weldment. Use more tension as needed to
eliminate caster vibration during highway transport.
