14.9.3 Adjusting the Rear Axle position
The rear wheel position may be adjusted forward or rearward.
1. There are six bolts on each of the axle plates which clamp the axle plates to the
lower frame. To change the rear axle position, loosen these bolts slightly, and
slide the axle plates forward or rearward as desired. Ensure both rear axles are in
the same location as measured from the rear of the lower frame members,
referencing the ruler labels on top of the lower frame.
2. Retighten the fasteners securely.
IMPORTANT – With the user sitting in the chair, check to ensure the wheelchair is stable
in all tilted/untitled positions.
14.10 Anti-Tippers
Your wheelchair is provided with anti-tippers
designed to prevent the chair from tipping over
backward in most normal conditions.
WARNING - Do NOT operate wheelchair without
anti-tippers installed. Anti-tippers are mandatory
for safety and warranty protection.
To install the anti-tippers:
1. Press and hold the release button on the
anti-tipper tube. (See Figure 14.32 )
2. Insert the anti-tip tube into the receiver as
shown until it locks into position.
Setup of 16”/22”/24” Rear Wheel Anti-tipper Height
Axle positions are noted by the location of the rear edge of the axle plates on the ruler
label on the frame.
The hole position on the anti-tip tube is shown in Figure 14.33.
The extra positions on the anti-tipper (1 through 3) can be used to raise the anti-tipper
height. This will increase the caster clearance when the wheelchair is tipped backwards
onto the anti-tippers and will reduce anti-tipper effectiveness.
