Checking for Caster Squareness:
Your Quickie wheelchair leaves the factory with the casters adjusted square. Any time you change your wheelchair rear axle height, rear tire size, center of gravity position or camber tube, you should check that the casters are still square. A caster that is not square will result in the caster lifting off the floor as it rotates around the stem bolt 23 and may also lift the front of the wheelchair up and down. Check for squareness by placing your wheelchair on a flat, horizontal surface. Rotate both forks so that the casters are towards the rear of the wheelchair. Place a square or pocket level against the flat surface on the rear of the fork and note whether this surface is vertical (square) 24 . If this surface is more than 2 degrees away from vertical, your casters require
