INSTALLING FRONT CASTERS: 2-5 STEP MODELS
1. Apply a permanent thread bonding and sealing compound like Loctite® Threadlocker Red 271™
to the threads of the stem casters (16-132-319). Follow the directions provided with the thread
compound.
2. Wind the (threaded) stems into the bottom ends of the stem pins (44-112-012).
3. Set a spacer (44-113-046) over the lower hole of a caster bracket.
4. Set a spring (44-146-006) on top of the spacer.
5. Slide the top end of a stem pin up through the lower hole of the caster bracket, the spacer, the
spring, and the upper bracket hole.
6. Push the spacer up against the spring to compress the spring until the pin hole in the stem pin is
visible. Push the caster up so that the pin hole is
above
the lower bracket hole. Insert a cotter pin
through the pin hole; then bend the arms of the cotter pin around the stem pin in opposite
directions.
