H. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle.
The centre of gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjust-
ment.
Use a torque setting of 11.3 nm when adjusting rear axle.
Centre of Gravity (Fig. 8)
Moving the centre of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair.
The further back the axle, the more stable the chair becomes.
The centre of gravity is adjusted by moving the rear axle forward or backward on the
indexed axle plate. Moving the axle forward will increase your turning speed and lighten
the front end.
Wheel Base Width Adjustment (Fig. 9)
Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the user the option to move the wheels closer or
further away from the hips. This gives the proper wheel spacing to maximise pushing effi-
ciency.
1. Loosen the nuts, and reposition the axle sleeve (A) to the desired width.
2. Retighten nuts.
