V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
Q. Wheel Installation & Removal
1. Installing Wheels (Fig. 23)
a. Push in the axle release button on the axle
to allow the locking balls to retract. Make
note of the difference between the
extended and depressed position of the
axle release button and its effect on the
locking balls on the other end of the axle.
b. Insert the axle into the bearing housing on
the wheel if it is separate.
c. Push on quick release button again and
slide axle into axle sleeve.
d. Release the button to lock axle in sleeve. If release button does not fully extend and the
locking balls do not move into the locked position after releasing the button, the axle length
needs to be adjusted.
2. Removing Wheels
a. Hold the wheel close to the hub and push in the button on the outside end of the axle.
b. While still holding the button, pull the wheel and axle out of the axle sleeve.
NOTE:
Review and understand Section Q. Wheel Installation & Removal before attempting an
axle adjustment!
3. Adjusting Axles (Fig. 24)
a. To adjust the axle, you will need a 19mm wrench to
turn the adjustment nut. You will also need an 11mm
wrench to securely hold the ball detent end of the axle
to prevent it from turning.
b. If the wheel and axle will not lock into the camber
adapter, the axle requires adjustment. Turn the nut
counter-clockwise approximately ¼ revolution and try
to lock the axle into the camber plug. If it doesn’t lock, continue making small nut adjust-
ments until it securely locks.
c. If the wheel is locked on the chair but there is excessive wheel play (the wheel hub can be
pushed back and forth on the axle), adjust the nut clockwise until there is no perceptible
gap between the wheel and camber tube and the axle is securely locked onto the chair.
DANGER:
Make sure the axle push buttons are completely extended and the locking balls on
the inside of the chair are fully engaged before operating the wheelchair. Failure to do so may
result in the wheel falling off and may cause serious injury or death.
