C. CLEANING
1. Paint Finish
a. Clean the painted surfaces with mild soap or detergent.
b. Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax.
2. Axles and Moving Parts
a. Clean around axles and moving parts with a slightly damp (not wet) cloth.
b. Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust or dirt on axles or moving parts.
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
1. Remove the wheel
a. The rear wheel axle (C) attaches the rear wheel to the axle plate. When the detent balls
(B) engage thru the rear wheel, it 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.
2. Adjust axle nut
a. If the wheel and axle will not lock into the axle plate, then the axle requires adjustment. Using a 1/2”
open end wrench, turn the nut (D) counter-clockwise approximately 1/4 revolution and try to lock the
axle into axle plate. If it doesn't lock, continue making small nut adjustments until it securely locks.
b. 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 axle plate, and the axle is securely locked onto the chair.
E. VERTICAL AXLE POSITION
NOTE: Use a torque setting of 144 in./lbs. to tighten axle nut.
1. Height Adjustment
a. Remove the rear wheel, to expose the axle plate (E).
b. Using a Socket and an open end wrench, loosen and remove the axle/drum brake assembly
(F).
c. Move axle up or down to desired position.
d. Note the hole number and tighten both bolts.
e. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the wheelchair.
f. Axle location must be exactly the same on both sides of the wheelchair.
