Caster Angle Adjustment - Ki Mobility Rogue ALX Manual De Instrucciones Y Garantía

V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
N. Caster Angle Adjustment
To maintain optimal performance of your Rogue ALX, the front caster housing should always be
aligned perpendicular to the ground. Your Rogue ALX is shipped aligned. Many of the adjustments
made in properly setting up the wheelchair, however, will result in the caster housing getting out of
alignment.
After all other adjustments are made you should check your caster housing alignment and
realign if the housing is not perpendicular to the ground.
For optimum performance, the caster housing should always be at a 90° angle to the floor
(perpendicular to the ground).
1. To change the angle, place the chair on a flat surface
(such as a table).
2. Loosen the two 5mm Allen screws on the top of the
caster housing clamp. This will allow the caster pivot tube
to rotate freely (Fig. 17:A).
3. Place a large right triangle against the table surface and
the front surface of the caster bearing housing (Fig. 18).
4. This will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular
to the floor surface.
5. When the alignment is correct, retighten the two 5mm
retaining screws to 80 in/lbs.
6. Tighten screws in a balanced fashion - tighten one screw
to 50 in/lbs and then the second to 50 in/lbs. Return to
the first screw and tighten to 80 in/lbs and then tighten
last screw to 80 in/lbs. Repeat on opposite side.
