When the position of the rear wheels is moved for-
wards the wheelchair becomes more manoeuvrable,
but the tendency to tip backwards increases. See
section ”
Adjusting rear seat height by changing rear
wheel position or rear wheel size
”.
The centre of balance is also altered when the
seat and/or back support angle is adjusted.
We recommend the use of anti-tips.
Ensure that rear wheels with quick release hubs
are mounted securely.
The camber angle can be changed by changing the
washers that are mounted between the hub sleeve
and the nut. See section ”
Adjusting rear seat height
by changing rear wheel position or rear wheel size
”.
When assembling, check so that the rear wheel
axle is correctly adjusted. The button in the hub
must pop out to the original position.
