Install Plate Type Caster

• Casters should be installed perpendicular to the floor.
• Drill hole, depth of steel drive stem, using drill bit a hair smaller in diameter than caster stem.
• Gently tap threaded drive stem up into leg. Stem should fit snug but not tight, in hole.
• Outside diameter of mounting plate should not be larger than furniture leg diameter. Mark location of plate screw holes in bottom of leg.
• Remove caster. Pre-drill pilot holes for brass screws.
• Insert caster stem back up into leg.
• Attach caster plate to bottom of furniture leg with screws. Stem keeps caster from wobbling. Screws hold caster to furniture leg
