Seat Angle (Dump)

The position of the caster wheels affects the angle

(dump) of the seat. By changing the location of the

caster wheel on the fork, you change the seat angle.

See figure 24.

NOTE: You can also adjust the seat angle by raising

or lowering the drive wheel. See “Drive Wheel Posi-

tion.”

To change the seat angle:

1. Remove the hardware that fastens the caster

wheel to the caster fork.

2. Reposition the caster wheel on the caster fork.

3. Reinstall the hardware that fastens the caster

wheel to the caster fork.

4. Repeat the procedure for the other side, making

sure both caster wheels are adjusted to the same

position.

WARNING! Changing the seat angle

may adversely affect stability and

cause the wheelchair to tip over.
