To adjust the axle (A) you will need a 3/4-in wrench (B) to turn the outside axle nuts (C).
b.
You will also need a 1/2-in wrench to hold the the opposite end of the axle (D), and prevent
the axle from turning, while you are adjusting the nut.
c.
Turn the outside axle nut clockwise to tighten.
d.
There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010-in), or .25mm, of play.
2.
Moving the Rear Axle for Weight Distribution
Weight distribution between the front and rear wheels is primarily adjusted by moving the rear axles
forward or rearward on the frame. Moving the axles REARWARD provides better forward and
rearward tipping stability. Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider’s weight onto the
REAR wheels, providing the following benefi ts: the front end of the wheelchair becomes lighter, thus
reducing the turning eff ort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning radius is reduced.
CAUTION - Moving the Rear axles can aff ect the stability of the chair, ALWAYS check stability with the
rider before putting the chair into service.
IMPORTANT NOTE– The axle adjustment on each side of the chair should be equal.
NOTE– Use a torque setting of 13.6 Nm [120 in-lbs] when setting-up the axle plate.
NOTE– The frame must be kept horizontal when height adjustments are made. Refer to matrix in the
ordering guide for proper setting.
