V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
P. Caster Angle Adjustment
To maintain optimal performance of your Clik, the front caster housing should always be aligned
perpendicular to the ground. Your Clik 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 6mm Allen screws (Fig. 21:A) on top and bottom of caster mount. This will
allow the caster housing to pivot.
3. Place a large right triangle against the table surface and flat trailing edge of caster fork (Fig.
22).
4. To adjust caster angle turn the 3mm adjuster screw (Fig. 21:B). This will adjust caster angle
forward or rearward. This will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor
surface.
5. When the alignment is correct, retighten the two 6mm retaining screws to 80 in./lbs (Fig. 21:A).
6. Tighten screws in a balanced fashion - tighten one screw to 50 in./lbs. and then the second to
50 in./lbs. Return to tighten the first screw to 80 in./lbs. and finally the second screw to 80
in./lbs. Repeat on opposite side.
