REAR WHEEL BRACKET MOUNT
1. Rear Wheel Horizontal Adjustment
a. Loosen and remove lock-nuts (C) and end cap (B) from bolts (A).
b. Set rear wheel mounting bracket (D) at desired position using pre-set holes
in lower side frame.
c. Replace and tighten lock-nuts (C) and end caps (B).
Important Note – The adjustment on each side of the chair should be exactly
equal.
Important Note – The adjustment should be done by an authorized dealer only.
2. 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 benefits: the front end of the wheelchair becomes
lighter, thus reducing the turning effort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning
radius is reduced.
