1. Caster Angle Adjustment

For optimum performance, and after a seat height adjustment, 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) washer
and hardware.
a. To change the angle, place the chair on a flat surface (such as a table).
b. Remove the nuts and washers(B) 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 bearing housing.
d. This will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor surface.
e. Rotate the eccentric washers(C) independently until they fall into position.
f. When the alignment is correct, retighten the hardware.
g. Repeat the process for the other caster.
I. ANTI-TIP RECEIVERS
Sunrise Medical recommends anti-tip tubes for all wheelchairs.
Use a torque setting of 360 in-lbs when setting up the anti-tip receivers (D).
