Rear Axle Adjustment
The position of the rear axle is the most critical
adjustment on the
Gizmo
wheelchair. The
center of gravity and the seat height position
are all determined by the axle adjustment.
Warning: Your healthcare professional
should assist you in adjusting the axle
position. Position of the axle will be based on
your abilities and limitations.
1. Center of gravity adjustment may be
accomplished by moving the rear axle plate
forward or backward on the frame.
2. Seat height and/or angle may be changed
by changing the position of the axle
upward or downward on the axle plate.
Warning: Your healthcare professional
should assist you in adjusting the axle
position. Position of the axle will be based on
your abilities and limitations.
Warning: The wheelchairs become less stable
if forward axle positions are used. The
further forward the axles are positioned, the
easier it is to tip the chair over forward or
backward. Moving the axle backward will
increase the stability of the chair. This
backward adjustment will create increased
turning pressure.
Note: A front caster adjustment should be made to
correspond
with any changes in rear seat
height/angle.
