F. TO MOUNT & REMOVE REAR WHEELS
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel thru to the camber plug (C). When the detent balls (D) engage
into the camber plug the rear wheel effectively becomes locked onto the chair. Pushing the quick-release button
(A) disengages the detent balls and allows mounting, or removal of the axle and wheel assembly.
Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure both quick-release axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come off
during use and cause a fall. The detent ball (D) must feed all the way thru the axle sleeve for the axle and wheel
to lock. Be sure to check for a positive lock by trying to pull the axle and wheel out of the camber plug/axle
sleeve. If the axle does not positively engage make sure to have your dealer adjust it.
NOTE – Setup for this step should include putting the wheelchair on a workbench or table to make the
process easier.

G. WHEEL LOCKS
Wheel locks are installed at Sunrise and should be adjusted by your qualified service person. Inspect wheel
locks weekly per the maintenance chart. Do not use your chair UNLESS you are sure both wheel-locks can
fully engage. A wheel lock that is not correctly adjusted may allow your chair to roll, or turn unexpectedly.
Wheel locks must be adjusted after making sure the tires have the correct air pressure. When fully engaged, the
arm should be imbedded into the tire at least 1/8" (3mm) (E) to be effective. If you find the wheel locks have
slipped or are not working correctly contact your service provider for proper adjustment.
