Cap

When using the quick-release caster option, a spring loaded caster head tube cap will be used instead of a stem nut to secure the front caster to the chair frame. Unlike the stem nut, the caster head tube cap is not ad- justable and thus caster flutter will be more evident with the quick-release caster option than it would be with the standard caster attaching hardware.

1.Remove the bolt and locknut that secure the front caster and the two (2) spacers to the fork.

2.Remove the dust cover on the top of the caster headtube.

3.While holding the fork and using a socket wrench, remove the locknut that secures the fork, and spacer in the headtube of the wheelchair.
