D. REAR AXLE 1
1. Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.
a. To adjust the axle (A) you will need a 3/4-in wrench (B) to turn the outside axle nuts (C).
b. You will also need a 1/2-in wrench to hold the opposite end of the axle (D), and prevent the axle from
turning, while you are adjusting the nut.
c. Turn the outside axle nut clockwise to tighten.
d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010-in) of play.
2. Moving the Rear Axle for Weight Distribution
Weight distribution between the front and rear wheels is primarily adjusted by moving the rear axles forward
or rearward on the frame. Moving the axles REARWARD provides better forward and rearward tipping
stability. Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider's weight onto the REAR wheels, providing the
following benefi ts: the front end of the wheelchair becomes lighter, thus reducing the turning eff ort, and with a
shorter wheelbase the turning radius is reduced.
CAUTION - Moving the Rear axles can affect the stability of the device ALWAYS check stability with the rider
before putting the chair into service.
IMPORTANT NOTE– The axle adjustment on each side of the chair should be equal.
NOTE– Use a torque setting of 120 in-lbs. when setting-up the axle plate.
NOTE– The frame must be kept horizontal when height adjustments are made. Refer to matrix in the ordering guide
for proper setting.
