2.3 Caster Installation
1. Remove the casters from the accessory box.
2. Insert the caster extension tube into the lower frame receiver
tube at the desired position.
3. Line up the hole on the frame and to the caster extension
tube. It may be necessary to rotate the caster extension tube
in order to line up the holes.
TIP: Locking the caster first makes this easier.
4. Insert the snap-pin through the frame tube and the caster
extension tube. Ensure that the pin is inserted completely
through the tube and that the green plastic clip is snapped
securely around the outside of the frame tube.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all casters in the assembly.
NOTE: If the directional caster lock option was ordered with the
AP chair, one of the four casters will have the lock mounted to the
caster stem. The caster with the directional lock on must be
mounted facing forwards in one of the rear caster positions.
IMPORTANT !
TELESCOPIC CASTER EXTENSION TUBES ALLOW FOR A HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT RANGE OF
4”. HOWEVER, THE HIGHER THE CHAIR IS ADJUSTED, THE MORE PRONE IT WILL BE TO
TIPPING. CASTERS MUST NEVER BE ADJUSTED TO DIFFERENT HEIGHTS. AN UNLEVEL
CHAIR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ANY USER.
CASTERS SHOULD ALWAYS BE INSTALLED AT THE LOWEST POSITION POSSIBLE WHILE
MEETING THE
USER’S NEEDS. ANY POSITION ABOVE THIS WILL RESULT IN A CHANGE IN
THE CENTRE OF MASS, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR PRODUCT DAMAGE. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL ASSIST IN A STABILITY
CHECK OF THE CHAIR IN ANY ALTERED HEIGHT CONFIGURATION.
