Squaring Caster
For optimal performance, the front caster housing should always be aligned perpendicular to the ground.
The Clik is shipped aligned. Many of the adjustments made in properly setting up the wheelchair, however,
will result in the caster housing getting out of alignment.
After all other adjustments are made, you should check your caster housing alignment and realign if the
housing is not perpendicular to the ground.
For optimum performance, the caster housing should always be at a 90° angle to the floor (perpendicular
to the ground).
1. To change the angle, place the chair on a flat surface (such as a table).
2. Loosen the two 6mm Allen screws (A) on top and bottom of caster mount. This will allow the caster
housing to pivot.
3. Place a large right triangle against the table surface and flat trailing edge of caster fork.
4. To adjust caster angle turn the 3mm adjuster screw (B). This will adjust caster angle forward or
rearward. This will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor surface.
5. When the alignment is correct, retighten the two 6mm retaining screws to 80 in./lbs (9.04 N*m) (A).
6. Tighten screws in a balanced fashion - tighten one screw to 50 in./lbs (5.65 N*m) and then the second
to 50 in./lbs (5.65 N*m). Return to tighten the first screw to 80 in./lbs (9.04 N*m) and finally the second
screw to 80 in./lbs (9.04 N*m). Repeat on opposite side.
