NOTE ON TORQUE SETTINGS– A torque setting is the optimum tightening which should be made on a
particular fastener. It is important to use proper torque settings where specified.
A. TO MOUNT & REMOVE REAR WHEELS
Do not mount a power drive to this chair.
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.
NOTE– Setting the wheelchair on a flat surface, such as a workbench or table, helps make these proce-
dures easier.
1. To Install Wheel
a. Depress quick-release button (A) fully.
b. Insert axle (B) through hub of rear wheel.
c. Keep button (A) depressed as you slide axle (B) into camber plug (C).
d. Release button to lock axle in camber plug. Adjust axle if it does not lock.
See Section B.
e. Repeat steps on other side.
2. To Remove Wheel
a. Depress quick-release button (A) fully.
b. Remove wheel by sliding axle (B) completely out of camber plug (C).
c. Repeat steps on other side.
NOTE– The axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out fully (A). Check that the axle is
locked by pulling on the wheel in the direction of the axle.
B. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel (D) to the camber plug (C). When the
detent balls (E) 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 removal
of the axle and wheel assembly.
To adjust the axle you will need a 3/4" wrench to turn the adjustment nut (F). You will also
need a 1/2" wrench to securely hold the ball detent end of the axle to prevent it from turn-
ing.
If the wheel and axle will not lock into the camber plug then the axle requires adjustment.
Turn the nut counter-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 (E) to be
engaged.
