c.
DO NOT USE 3 in 1 oil, or WD-40 ® for lubrication. Only use Teflon based Lubricant when working on
this wheelchair.
D. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel (D) to the camber plug (C). When the detent balls (E) engage
into the camber plug the rear wheel effectively becomes locked onto the chair. Pushing the quick-release button
(A) disengages the detent balls and allows removal of the axle and wheel assembly.
To adjust the axle you will need a 3/4" wrench to turn the adjustment nut (F). You will also need a 1/2" wrench
to securely hold the ball detent end of the axle to prevent it from turning.
If the wheel and axle will not lock into the camber plug then the axle requires adjustment. Turn the nut counter-
clockwise approximately 1/4 revolution and try to lock the axle into the camber plug. If it doesn't lock, continue
making small nut adjustments until it securely locks.
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) then 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.
E. WHEEL LOCKS
Quickie Q7 Adjustable and Quickie Q7 Active Rigid wheelchairs are shipped with one of
five types of wheel locks. Wheel locks are installed at the factory unless you have requested other-
wise.
Use a torque setting of 62 in.-lbs. (7 Nm) when setting up wheel locks.
1. High-Mount Push-to-Lock or Pull-to-Lock Wheel Locks Adjustment
a. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, turn one of the screws (G) in the clamp counterclockwise one-
quarter turn.
b. Repeat the same process with the remaining screw (G).
c. Alternately loosen the screws (two turns each) until both screws are loose.
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 62 in-lbs. (7 Nm).
