wards

the anti-tipper 180° in the direction opposite from the wheel

7.8 REAR WHEELS AXLES
7.8.1 QUICKRELEASE AXLES
INFORMATION
Stainless quick-release axles are a standard wheelchair
component. Other axle types are optional equipment.
WARNING
All quick-release axles are designed to make your rear
wheels easy to remove quickly. However, if not used properly,
they can be dangerous.
NEVER use your chair UNLESS you are sure that both rear
axles are locked into place in the axle receiver. If an axle
is not fully locked into place, the rear wheel may come off
during use of the chair and cause you to fall. You can notice
when the axle is locked into place because the quick-release
button in the center of the axle will pop out fully. It is also a
good idea to pull on the wheel to double-check that the axle
is securely locked as a final precaution.
– To remove the rear wheels, push the button in the center of the
wheel’s hub and pull the wheels off (1).
– To reinstall the rear wheels on the wheelchair, push the button
of the quick-release axles, insert the axle into the wheelchair
axle bushing and release the button
– Always make sure that the quick release detent balls (2) extend
beyond the axle bushing for a secure lock.
7.8.2 FIXED AXLES
– To remove the rear wheels: unscrew the bolt (1) located inside
the wheelchair axle bushing and pull out the wheel.
– To reinstall the rear wheels on the wheelchair: insert the
threaded axles (2) in the axle bushing.
– Tighten the bolt (1) and make sure that the wheel is still turning
without any restrictions.
