C. CLEANING
1. Paint Finish

b. Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax.
2. Axles and Moving Parts

b. Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust or dirt on axles or moving parts.
c. DO NOT USE 3-in-ONE oil, or WD-40
ing on this wheelchair.
D. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel to the Axle sleeve (C). When the detent balls (D) engage into
the axle sleeve the rear wheel 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.
To adjust the axle you will need a 3/4" wrench to turn the adjustment nut (E). You will also need a 1/2" wrench
to securely hold the ball detent end of the axle to prevent it from turning.
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 camber
tube and the axle is securely locked onto the chair.

E. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center of
Gravity, Wheel camber and Wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
1. Center of Gravity
Moving the center of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair. The further
back the axle, the more stable the chair becomes. The center of gravity is adjusted by moving the rear
axle (C) forward or backward on the axle plate(F). Moving the axle forward will increase your turning
speed and lighten the front end.
2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustment provides greater side-to-side stability due to the increased width and angle
of the wheelbase. The wheel camber adjustment also allows for quicker turning and greater access to the
Wheel camber is preset at the factory at 7º. More or less camber can be
top of the handrims.
obtained by increasing or decreasing the number of camber washers (G) located between the
axle plates and the frame.
