Rear Wheel Axle Nut Adjustment; G.wheel Locks; H.caster Forks - Quickie QXi Manuel D'instructions

Q XI / Q X
F. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT
the rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel (E) to the axle sleeve (F). When the detent balls (D) engage
into the camber plug the rear wheel effectively becomes locked onto the chair. Pushing the quick-release but-
ton (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 (c). You will also need a 1/2"
wrench to securely hold the detent ball end of the axle to prevent it from turning.
if the wheel and axle will not lock into the axle sleeve then the axle requires adjustment. turn the nut count-
er-clockwise approximately 1/4 revolution and try to lock the axle into the camber plug. if it doesn't lock,
continue making small nut adjustments until it securely locks.
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.
CAUTION– Quick-release button (A) must be flush with the edge of the wheel hub for detent balls (D) to
be engaged and locked.
