Replacing/Adjusting the Wheel Locks
WARNING
If wheel locks do not hold the occupied wheelchair in place contact a qualified tech-
nician - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.1.
NOTE: Before adjusting or replacing wheel locks, ensure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended psi on the sidewall of the tire.
Replacing the Wheel Lock
1. Remove the two mounting screws and remove the existing wheel lock from the
wheelchair.
2. Using the two mounting screws, install the new wheel lock. Securely tighten.
Adjusting the Wheel Lock
1. Engage the wheel locks.
NOTE: Any wheel lock adjustment should embed the wheel lock shoe at least 3/16-inch into the
pneumatic tire (1/8-inch for urethane wheels) when engaged.
2. If necessary, loosen the two mounting screws that secure the wheel locks to the
wheelchair frame and adjust position of the wheel lock until the 3/16-inch (1/8-inch for
urethane wheels) measurement is obtained for correct wheel lock adjustment.
3. Securely tighten the two mounting screw(s).
4. Engage the wheel locks and push against the wheelchair and determine if the wheel
locks engage the wheel locks enough to hold the wheelchair.
5. Repeat the above procedures until the wheel locks hold the wheelchair.
