Adjusting the Wheel
The Celcon® polymer wheel can be adjusted
for each user s preference. To adjust the
wheel, take a small, flat-head jeweler s
screwdriver and slightly rotate the screw
located near the wheel tip. Rotating the
screw about 1/4 to 1/3 turn should be
sufficient. Rotating the screw within those
two values should adjust the wheel between
free spinning (which is too loose) to skidding
(which is too tight).
