CASTOR WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS

1. 

When you have found the seat height and seat 
angle you are happy with, it is important for the 
chair’s propelling ability to check that the angle 
between the castor attachment and the ground 
is 90°.

 

2.  Adjusting the angle

 

 

Loosen the screws (A) approx. two turns. Adjust 
the castor housing to the correct angle by turning 
it. On the inside of the castor housing there are 
grooves that make it possible to adjust to 0°, 3° or 
6° angles. When the castor housing is parallel to 
the tube, the angle is 0°. Do not forget to tighten 
the screws when you have reached the desired 
angle.

Check that the castor housing is fastened 
properly after the adjustment.

Tool: 5 mm Allen key

3. Adjusting the height

Loosen the lower of the two screws (A) comple-
tely.
Loosen the upper screw approx. two turns.
Move the castor housing upwards.
Re-tighten the lower screw, although not comple-
tely.
Adjust the angle according to step 2 above.
Tighten both screws.

Check that the castor housing is fastened 
properly after the adjustment.
