Tip: Before making any of these adjustments, half close the wheelchair in order to take the
tension out of the backrest.
5.3 Adjusting the axle position of the drive wheels
The STRONGBACK 24 has a choice of three horizontally adjacent positions for the axle
serving the rear drive wheels (1). This makes it possible to adjust the center of gravity and
the associated maneuvering characteristics of the wheelchair.
The further back the axle mounts are installed, the less likely the wheelchair is to tip over in
use, i.e. in this configuration there is the least likelihood of the wheelchair tipping
backwards. The further forward the axle mounts are installed, the lower the proportion of
the total weight that is over the forward casters, making it easier to deliberately tip the
wheelchair backwards (either by the user or the companion), which in turn makes the chair
easier to maneuver.
The wheelchair is delivered with the axle mounts factory fitted in the furthest back position.
Experienced users who want the axle position to be moved further forward should contact
the specialist retailer who sold them the wheelchair.
CAUTION!
Adjustments to the axle position should be exclusively carried out by specialist
staff trained by
Strongback Mobility or their contractual partners and not by
the purchaser or wheelchair user. This kind of adjustment involves
repositioning the wheel locks, so any incorrect adjustment could significantly increase the
risk of accident or injury.
