F. CASTER/FORKS ASSEMBLY

1. Installation

a. Remove dust cover (A) from caster housing. Pry

dust cover off using a back and forth motion.

b. Caster assembly holds one nut (B) and one

washer (immediately below the nut). Remove
nut and washer.

c. Insert caster stem (C) into caster housing (D)

and place washer on stem.

d. Replace nut (B) on caster stem and tighten until

all play is removed; then loosen approximately
1/8 turn, yet still allowing for free rotation.

e. Replace dust cover to caster housing.

2. Caster Angle Adjustment

For optimum performance, the caster housing should
always be at a 90° angle to the floor (perpendicular to
the ground). This adjustment is made with an eccentric
(offset) attachment bolt mechanism.

a. To change the angle, place the chair on a flat

surface (such as a table).

b. Remove the bolt nuts from the back side of the

caster plate. The caster plate is slotted at the
top and bottom for adjustment.

c. Place a large right triangle against the table

surface and the front surface of the caster bear-
ing housing to align the caster stem rotational
axis perpendicular to the floor surface.

d. Rotate the eccentric washers (E) independently

until they fall into position.

e. When the alignment is correct, retighten the

two retaining bolts.

f. Repeat the process for the other caster.

NOTE– 

Use a torque setting of 100 in.-lbs. When set-
ting-up caster plate.

3. Height Adjustment

a. Loosen and remove bolt (F).
b. Set axle at desired height using pre-set holes in

the fork.

c. Replace and tighten bolt.
d. Repeat on other side.

NOTE– 

The frame must be kept horizontal when height
is adjusted. Refer to matrix in the ordering
guide for proper setting.
