V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
Q. Axle Plate
2. Adjusting Axle Sleeve Height
a. Remove rear wheels.
b. Using two 30mm wrenches, remove axle sleeve nut (Fig. 37:A) and washer (Fig. 37:B) from
outside of axle plate.
c. Remove axle sleeve (Fig. 37:C) from axle plate and reposition in desired height location.
d. Reinstall and tighten axle sleeve nut.
e. Additionally, the axle plate screws may be removed (See step 1) and axle plate may be
moved up or down by 1" by using alternate set of holes in axle plate. Using the lower set of
holes (Fig. 37:D) yields a seat height 1" lower than using the upper set of holes (Fig. 37:E) for
a given axle sleeve location. If moving axle plate up or down, ensure that the anti-tip receiver
(Fig. 37:F) moves up or down (respectively) with the axle plate. All four holes of the anti-tip
receiver should line up with all four holes in the axle plate. See Section V for further instruc-
tions on the anti-tip receiver orientation.
f. Ensure that both axle sleeves and axle plates are set up identically.
3. Adjusting Axle Spacing
a. Loosen axle sleeve nut (Fig. 37:A) using two 30mm wrenches.
b. Thread axle sleeve (Fig. 37:C) in and out of nuts to achieve desired wheel spacing.
c. Retighten axle sleeve nuts.
d. Ensure both sides of the chair have the same axle spacing.
e. Changing the axle spacing may require spacing the wheel locks in or out (See Section S).
