Rear Caster Installation
1. Unscrew the lock nut from the axle going through the new caster wheel.
Retain the lock nut for reassembly.
2. Remove the axle and caster wheel from the caster. Do not discard.
Retain the axle and caster wheel for reassembly.
3. Attach the caster body to the cart body using the caster mounting screw and lock
washer previously removed.
Take care not to damage the brake cable inner wire.
NOTE:
Do not use threadlocker on the rear caster mounting screws.
Torque to 73.2 N·m (54 ft-lbf).
4. Push the brake cable inner wire back into the cable housing, so the ball end slides out of
the caster mounting screw.
5. Make sure the spring, previously removed from the brake pin, is in place on the brake
pin. The wide end goes up, against the caster mounting screw.
6. Insert the ball end of the inner wire into the hole in the brake pin, with the inner wire in
the slot above the hole.
7. Slide the brake pin up inside the caster mounting screw, and hold it in place for the
next step.
8. Install the caster wheel into the caster frame with the axle screw.
Fasten with the lock nut, previously removed.
Torque the lock nut to 41 N·m (30 ft-lbf). Ensure that the wheel spins freely.
The wheel will hold the brake pin inside the caster mounting screw, so it can’t fall out.
9. Pull the inner wire of the cable through the actuator bar, and lock in place with the jam
nut previously removed. Use Loctite 242 on the jam nut.
