The swivel dampeners on large plows(15 ft(4.6 m)and larger)and the caster wheel height positioning mechanisms shall be designed to allow quick and easy adjustment with positive stops to limit caster rotation. Metal caster wheels shall be designed to prevent damage to in-pavement lighting fixtures. The caster swivel,thrust,and wheel bearings shall be sealed and protected and of ball or roller design with provisions for lubrication. b) Non-Metal Wheels. This type of caster wheel shall have an adequate load-rated capacity to support the plow assembly and to function without damaging aircraft operating surfaces and in-pavement lighting fixtures. It shall also be durable and shall not separate from the metal rim during normal use. 7(and 8)
