Use a torque setting of 75 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.

1. Caster Angle Adjustment 39

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 and 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 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.
2. Caster Reversibility 40
The caster housing is generally mounted in a forward-facing position. If additional footrest clearance is
necessary, the caster housing can be reversed. This will position the caster housing rearward to allow
more clear-ance.
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.
3. Fixed Front Frame Caster Housing Adjustment
To reposition the caster housing hardware for Quickie 2 Lite Fixed Front
a. Remove cotter clip (D) from pin (E).
b. Using a 7/16 wrench remove two caster housing bolts (F)
c. Remove clevis pin (E).
d. Reposition caster housing hardware onto frame lining up with preset holes.
e. Insert clevis pin (E) , insert and retighten two caster housing bolts (F)
f. Reinsert cotter clip (D)
After repositioning the caster housing always check for interference with footrest or rear wheel.
Do not operate a wheelchair that has interference with these components. Ensure the caster fork is
square. Additionally, repositioning the caster housing will affect the wheelchair's stability. Check the
stability of your wheelchair with a spotter to prevent a tip-over.
J. ANTI-TIP RECEIVERS
Sunrise Medical recommends anti-tip tubes for all wheelchairs.

b. Remove the outside nut (H).

d. Thread the axle sleeve in or out as desired, ensuring that the final position leaves the flats of the axle
sleeve parallel to the rear of the anti-tip receiver.
e. Insert the anti-tip receiver hardware with the axle sleeve through the desired hole of the axle plate from
the inside of the wheelchair.
f. Re-install and tighten the outside nut (H).
