CHAPTER 8: AXLE PLATES AND CAMBER TUBES

(CENTER OF GRAVITY; REAR SEAT HEIGHT)

Replacing the Camber Tube

Tools Needed:

• 3/16” Allen Wrench

• 5/64” Allen Wrench

• Ruler

1. Remove the rear wheels and place the frame on a level surface.

2. Using the 5/64” Allen wrench, remove the bumper assembly, making note of the order in which the parts are

assembled.

Note: Your chair may not include the bumper assembly if you have anti-tips. Follow the instructions under “User-

Friendly Anti-tips - Mounting” on page 13-4.

3. Loosen, but do not remove, the Allen screw that secures the camber tube to each camber clamp. See Figure 8-3.

4. Remove the camber tube.

5. Install the new camber tube, making sure the distance from the outside edge of the camber clamp to the end of

the camber tube is identical on each side of the chair.

6. Make sure that the camber plug flats are perpendicular to the ground and that the camber is oriented properly.

7. Securely tighten both Allen screws.

8. Reinstall the bumper assembly.

9. Reinstall the rear wheels.

10. Check the toe-in/toe-out and adjust as needed and square the casters. See pages 8-3 and 8-4.

chair. See Figure 8-4.

2. Make sure the rear wheels are properly inflated.

3. Place the chair on all four wheels with the casters trailing toward the rear of the frame. See Figure 8-5.
