Seat Height Adjustment (Fig. 10)
To adjust the seat height, invert the axle plate and move vertically to align with the
appropriate pre-drilled frame holes. Compare figures 8 and 10. Figure 8 represents the
short seat height. Figure 10 represents the tall seat height. This adjustment allows a 37
mm vertical seat height adjustment.
noTE— A new front caster wheel should be used to correspond with any change in seat height.
Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment (Fig. 11)
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.
1. To adjust the axle you will need a 8 mm wrench to turn the outside axle nuts.
2. You will also need a 14 mm wrench to lodge the ball bearings, on the opposite end
of the axle, and prevent the axle from turning.
3. Turn the outside axle nut counterclockwise to tighten.
4. There should only be zero to 0.25 mm of play.
