Step-by-step guide to installing the Dome Gen 2 Stand Castor wheels with press foot brakes. Includes common mistakes and checkpoints for a secure assembly.

Quick answer

Installing the Dome Gen 2 Stand Castor kit takes about 15 minutes. You'll attach four locking castor wheels to the stand's mounting plates using the included hardware.

Before you start: what you need

The Dome Gen 2 Stand Castor kit includes four castor wheels with integrated press foot brakes. You will also need a 13 mm socket or wrench and a flat workspace. The stand should be empty and upside down for easiest access to the mounting points.

If you are replacing old castors, inspect the mounting plate for damage or stripped threads before installing the new set. A damaged plate can cause the wheel to loosen over time.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not overtighten the bolts. The castor bracket needs slight play to swivel freely. Overtightening can crack the plastic wheel hub or bind the swivel mechanism.

Do not mix up the brake orientation. The press foot brake lever should face outward from the stand so you can easily engage it with your foot. Installing it facing inward makes the brake nearly unusable.

Installation steps

1. Prepare the stand: Lay the Dome Gen 2 Stand upside down on a soft surface to avoid scratching the frame. Remove any existing castors or debris from the mounting plates. Check that all four mounting plates are clean and free of rust or damage before proceeding.
2. Attach the first castor: Align the castor wheel bracket with the holes on the mounting plate. Insert the bolts and tighten them evenly with a 13 mm socket. Do not fully tighten until all four are in place. Hand-start each bolt to avoid cross-threading. If a bolt does not turn smoothly, stop and realign the bracket.
3. Repeat for remaining castors: Attach the other three castors using the same method. Ensure the brake lever on each castor faces outward. Double-check the brake lever orientation on all four wheels before tightening.
4. Tighten all bolts: Once all four castors are loosely attached, go around and tighten each bolt to a firm snug fit. Avoid using excessive force. Spin each castor by hand to confirm it swivels freely. If a wheel binds, loosen the bolts slightly and retighten.
5. Test the brakes: Flip the stand upright. Press each foot brake lever down firmly with your foot. The wheel should lock and not roll. Release the brake by lifting the lever. If a brake does not engage fully, check that the castor is not mounted upside down or that debris is not blocking the mechanism.
