          | WHEELSCheck wheels for visible tread wear. Flat spots may indicate accumulation 
              of foreign material, such as string or thread, which can cause the 
              wheel to bind. Remove the axle bolt and nut. Clean out foreign material 
              and check internal components for wear or failure. Re-assemble if 
              the parts are not damaged. Thread guards may be installed to delay 
              build-up if foreign material is a continuing problem.
 
 Loose casters and frozen wheels can also cause flat spots. Proper 
              maintenance, especially tightening of bolts, proper lubrication, 
              and replacement of damaged casters will enhance equipment rollabililty 
              and tracking performance.
 
 Badly worn or "chunked out" rubber tires can also cause 
              erratic steering, bumping, load shifting, and floor damage. Replacement 
              wheels and bearings should be kept on hand to reduce costly downtime.
 
 After wheels have been inspected and repaired, be sure the axle 
              nut is properly tightened. Use lock washers or locknuts on all axles. 
              If the caster axle is loose, tighten immediately. The wheel may 
              be damaged or lock up if it is cocked in the caster horn.
 
 CASTERS
 Check the swivel assembly to see if there is excessive play due 
              to wear. If the swivel assembly is loose, it is advisable to replace 
              it (fork or rig) or the entire caster. If the caster has a king 
              bolt and nut, make sure it is fastened securely. If the swivel does 
              not turn freely, check for corrosion or dirt binding the raceways. 
              Again, it may be necessary to replace the swivel assembly or the 
              entire caster. If the equipment has rigid or stationary casters 
              at one end, make sure that the caster horns are not bent or distorted.

                  top plate bolt hole centers |   
                | CAPACITY | - | Maximum load per 
                  wheel based on expected opera tion (expected maximum load divided 
                  by number of wheels) |   
                | CASTER 
                  SIZE | - | Same as wheel diameter |

                | OFFSET | - | Horizontal distance 
                  between the centerline of the swivel kingpin and the centerline 
                  of the axle; shorter offsets are stronger, longer offsets improve 
                  maneuverability. |   
                | RACEWAY | - | Surface on which 
                  bearing rollers or balls move |
