Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine Mounting Location: Identify the desired position on the equipment or structure where the castor will be attached.
- Align Mounting Plate: Position the 140mm x 110mm swivel plate ensuring the intended direction of movement is considered.
- Mark Holes: Use the plate holes (11mm diameter, 105mm x 80mm centres) as a guide to mark the mounting surface.
- Drill Holes: Drill appropriate sized holes for your chosen fasteners.
- Secure Castor: Use suitable bolts, nuts, and washers (not included) to firmly attach the castor plate to the surface. Ensure fasteners are long enough to securely engage with the mounting material.
Compatibility:
This castor is designed for attachment to flat, rigid surfaces capable of withstanding the specified load. Ensure the mounting material (wood, metal, etc.) is sufficiently strong. The castor's overall height of 232mm should be considered for any clearance restrictions.
Care:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the wheel for any debris, cuts, or wear.
- Cleaning: Wipe the wheel and plate with a damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Lubrication: While not typically required for this type of castor, if the swivel action becomes stiff, a small amount of lubricant can be applied to the swivel bearing (consult product manual if available).
- Fastener Check: Ensure mounting bolts remain tight.
