GUIDELINES
DETERMINING TOE IN/TOE OUT (FIGURE 6)
1. Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pressures (listed on the sidewall of
the tire).
2. Measure the distance between the rear of the rear wheels and front of the rear
wheels at the centerline of the rear wheels (FIGURE 6).
NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the wheelchair occupied.
3. Determine the difference between the two (2) measurements. If the
difference
between the
two (2) measurements
is
NOT
within
+1/8-inch
, one (1) of two
(2) conditions exists:
A. If the
back centerline measurement
of the rear wheels is
SMALLER
than
the
front centerline measurement
of the rear wheels, a
TOE-OUT
condition exists (FIGURE 6).
B. If the
back centerline measurement
of the rear wheels is
LARGER
than
the
front centerline measurement
of the rear wheels, a
TOE-IN
condition
exists (FIGURE 6).
4. If the difference between the measurements is not 1/8-inch, correct the
toe-in/toe-out condition. Refer to ADJUSTING TOE-IN/TOE-OUT in this section of
the manual.
