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).
