2. Caster Reversibility (Fig. 27)
The caster housing is generally mounted in a forward-
facing position. If additional footrest clearance is nec-
essary, the caster housing can be reversed. This will
position the caster housing rearward to allow more
clearance.
a. To reverse the caster housing, the left housing
should be mounted on the right side of the
frame.
b. The right housing should be mounted on the left
side of the frame.
S. CASTERS (QUICKIE 2HP)
1. Caster Angle Adjustment (Fig. 28)
a. Place the chair on a flat surface (such as a
table).
b. Loosen the two eccentric bolts that secure the
caster assembly (do not remove the clevis pin).
c. Place a large right triangle against the table sur-
face and the front surface of the caster bearing
housing.
d. This will align the caster stem rotational axis
perpendicular to the floor surface.
e. When alignment is correct, retighten the two
eccentric bolts. Repeat the process for the the
other caster.
2. Forward or Rearward Placement
a. Loosen the two eccentric bolts.
b. Remove safety cotter and clevis pin.
c. Slide caster plate forward or rearward and insert
clevis pin into one of three predrilled frame
holes.
d. Tighten the eccentric bolts.
e. Replace safety cotter.
f. Repeat process for the other caster.
3. Inside Mounted
a. Reverse positions of caster assemblies.
b. Remove caster assemblies from frame (noting right
positioned caster and left positioned caster).
c. Inside mount right caster on the left side and
inside mount the left caster on the right side.

d. Slide assembly toward rear wheel until clamp
embeds into tire to prevent wheel movement
when in locked position.
e. Adjust angle position.
f. Tighten screws.
Q. CASTER FORKS (Fig. 25)
Two-hole caster forks allow the interchanging of some
casters and adjusting seat height. To adjust, loosen the
bolt and remove the caster. Either change caster size
and/or position the caster upward or downward in
predrilled holes (1 inch apart) on caster fork. Replace
bolt and tighten securely.
R. CASTERS (QUICKIE 2)
1. Caster Angle Adjustment (Fig. 26)
For optimum performance, the caster housing should
always be at a 90º 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 sur-
face and the front surface of the caster bearing
housing.
d. This will align the caster stem rotational axis
perpendicular to the floor surface.
e. Rotate the bolts independently until they fall
into position.
f. When the alignment is correct, retighten the two
retaining bolts.
g. Repeat the process for the other caster.
