5.7 Caster Replacement
Refer to "Figure 5-8 Elevating Base with Two-piece Shroud Assembly", and "Figure 5-9 Elevating Base with
Three-piece Shroud Assembly".
The casters may be replaced with the unit upright or carefully placed on its back.
1. Lock all the other casters.
2. Lift the caster off the floor and use blocks to support the leg near the caster you are replacing.
3. Remove the screw on the side of the leg that holds the caster in its mounting hole. Remove the caster.
On older casters with a set screw on the side of the leg casting, remove the screw on the side of the leg
that holds the caster in its mounting hole. Remove the caster.
NOTE: The new style caster with a mounting plate has a different shaft diameter than the older caster and
will not fit on the older set screw style leg casting.
4. Line up the hole in the caster stem with the set screw hole in the leg and insert the caster. As you tighten
the screw the caster should be drawn into the leg.
On older casters, line up the hole in the caster stem with the set screw hole in the leg and insert the caster.
Apply Loctite #242 to the screw. As you tighten the screw, the caster should be drawn into the leg.
NOTE: If you are replacing a caster hub cover, you must use a 1/8" drill to remove the old cover stem before
snapping the new hub cover in place.
