Configuración e instalación

Follow these steps to properly install your casters:

1. Prepare la superficie de montaje: Ensure the surface where the casters will be attached is clean, flat, and strong enough to support the load. Mark the drilling points if necessary.
2. Position the Caster: Place the caster's mounting plate onto the designated area. Align the mounting holes on the caster plate with the pre-drilled holes or marks on your equipment.
3. Secure the Caster: Use appropriate screws, bolts, and nuts (not always included, depending on your specific application) to firmly attach the caster to the equipment. Tighten all fasteners securely to prevent wobbling or detachment during use.
4. Repeat for All Casters: Install all four casters, ensuring they are evenly spaced and aligned for optimal balance and mobility. It is recommended to place the two locking casters on the same side or diagonal corners for effective braking.
