F. MOUNT AND REMOVE THE XTENDER WHEELS
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel thru to the axle sleeve (C). When the detent balls (D) engage
into the axle sleeve, the rear wheel effectively becomes locked onto the chair. Pulling up on the quick-release
handle (A) disengages the detent balls and allows mounting, or removal of the axle and wheel assembly.
WARNING
Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure both quick-release axles are locked and the guide pins are in the
correct location. An unlocked axle/wheel may come off during use and cause a fall. The detent ball (D) must
feed all the way thru the axle sleeve for the axle and wheel to lock. Be sure to check for a positive lock by try-
ing to pull the axle and wheel out of the camber plug/axle sleeve. If the axle does not positively engage make
sure to have your dealer adjust it.

Setup for this step should include putting the wheelchair on a workbench or table to make the process
easier.
