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.
WIDTH
: Adjust the height so that the side extender frame is positioned in the middle
of your pet’s body.
• The paws should just 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 2, above)

1. Remove the adjustment knob on the knuckle, holding the bonded knuckle together in one piece, remove bolt
and washer. Attach knuckle to the center of the slot on the side extender. Keeping the knuckle together in one
piece, should insure the correct angle for caster mount and wheel.
(caster mount should always be parallel to ground).
2. Insert bolt through side extender, put on flat washer, then adjustment knob, screw on tightly.
3. Do the same for the other front wheel.
If you have the B1, continue to step 5.
4. Connect both the right and left sides of the front stabilization bar. Make sure that both sides are aligned, insert
bolt through square hole (bolt should sit flush against bar), put on flat washer then lock washer, attach adjust-
ment knob and screw on tightly (the center of the stabilization bar should not move). Some movement of the
stabilization bar at the caster mount screws is normal.
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. Front leg rings should hang slightly lower
than rear leg rings to accommodate the chest. (See image below)
