F. WhEEl locks
the Quickie QXi wheelchair is shipped with one of four types of wheel locks. Wheel locks are installed at the
factory unless you have requested otherwise.
Use a torque setting of 144 in.-lbs. when setting up wheel locks.
1. high-Mount Push-to-lock or Pull-to-lock , Wheel locks Adjustment
a.
Using a 3/16 inch hex key, turn one of the screws (c) in the clamp counterclockwise one-quarter turn.
b.
Repeat the same process with the second of the two screws.
c.
Alternately loosen the screws (two turns each) until both screws are removed.
d.
slide clamp toward the rear wheel until the wheel lock is embedded into the tire to prevent wheel
movement, when in the locked position.
e.
tighten screws to 115 in-lbs.
2. Ergo scissor Wheel locks or compact Wheel locks
loosen the screws (c) on the top of each clamp using a 3/16 inch hex key. slide assembly toward rear wheel
until clamp embeds into tire to prevent wheel movement when in locked position. Adjust angle position. tighten
screws to 115 in-lbs.
notE– clamp and wheel lock may need to be rotated to clear frame tubing.
g. cAstER FoRks
Multi-hole caster forks allow the interchanging of some casters and adjusting seat height. to adjust, loosen the
bolt(c) and remove the caster. Either change caster size and/or position the caster upward or downward in
predrilled holes (1 inch apart) on caster fork. Replace bolt and tighten securely.
Use a torque setting of 75 in-lbs. when adjusting the caster forks.
h. cAstERs
Use a torque setting of 144 in-lbs. when adjusting the casters.
1. caster Angle Adjustment
For optimum performance, the caster housing should always be at a 90º angle to the floor (perpendicular to
the ground). this adjustment is made with an eccentric (offset) attachment bolt(D).
a.
to change the angle, place the chair on a flat surface (such as a table).
b.
Remove the bolt nuts from the back side of the caster plate. the caster plate is slotted at the top and
bottom for adjustment.
c.
Place a large right triangle against the table surface and the front surface of the caster bearing housing.
d.
this will align the caster stem rotational axis perpendicular to the floor surface.
e.
Rotate the eccentric bolts(D) independently until they fall into position.
f.
When the alignment is correct, retighten the two retaining bolts.
g.
Repeat the process for the other caster.
2. caster Reversibility
the caster housing is generally mounted in a forward-facing position. if additional footrest clearance is neces-
sary, the caster housing can be reversed. this will position the caster housing rearward to allow more clear-
ance.
a.
to reverse the caster housing, the left housing should be mounted on the right side of the frame.
b.
the right housing should be mounted on the left side of the frame.
notE– changing the caster to the trailing position will change the stability of the wheelchair. Prior to use
ensure rider can safely operate the wheelchair.
