Is the wheelchair adjusted properly?
WIDTH
: Adjust the width in the back from your pet’s widest body part
(usually the chest). There are several square holes to select from.
• Make sure the knobs are tightened and secure.
HEIGHT
: Adjust the height so that the side extender frame is positioned in the
middle of your pet’s body.
• The paws should be touching the ground
• Knobs should be tightened to secure the strut to the frame.
• The leg rings should hang down about 3” below the blue frame like a seat, with the connector piece holding
the two soft tubes together. Front leg ring will be slightly lower than the rear one.
LENGTH
: Adjust the length by loosening the knob on the front knuckle and sliding the knuckle to the correct
position. Each leg ring wire will be close to the black knuckle on each side.
• Your pet’s front legs will be lined up with the black knuckles in the front and rear.
STIRRUPS
: If your dog’s rear legs are paralyzed, you will need to use the stirrups to hold the feet up so they
don’t drag on the ground.
• Secure the end with the knot over the adjustable knob and tighten with the push button to hold it tightly.
(see Diagram 3, above)

Installing the FRONT Wheels to the Frame (continued)
Diagram 3
1. Remove the adjustment knob and washer on the front knuckle, holding the bonded knuckle together in one
piece, remove bolt. Attach knuckle to the side extender open slot approximately 2” from the front end.
Keeping the bonded knuckle in one piece, which will insure the correct angle for caster mount and wheel.
(caster mount top should always be parallel to ground).
2. Insert bolt through the side extender and knuckle, then attach the front wheel strut so it lines up in the slanted
slot on the outside of the black knuckle, then the flat washer and adjustment knob, screw on tightly.
3. Do the same for the other front wheel. Adjust the height so that the side bars would be in the middle of the
dog’s body and parallel to the ground. Also adjust the side extenders so the dog’s front legs line up with front
black knuckle.
4. Attach the 8 clamps on both sides of the 4 knuckles with the hole channels on the outside. Shimmy them on
the side extenders until it is locked in place. (single clamp, single bar), (double clamp, double bar)
5. Attach the front and rear leg rings by threading the leg ring wire down through each of the leg ring clamp
channels, and then wrapping the wire up and around the frame to secure it. Front leg rings should hang
slightly lower than rear leg rings to accommodate the dog’s chest.
