V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
Y. Push / Pull to Lock Wheel Locks
1. Adjustment
a. For standard axle plate, use a 10mm wrench or socket to loosen (do not remove) hex bolt
(Fig. 56:F). Self-propel axle plate requires a 5mm Allen wrench to loosen socket head cap
screw (Fig. 57).
b. Slide mount (Fig. 56:J) forward or rearward to achieve proper locking.
c. Screw may be completely removed and slide nut (Fig. 56:G) can be mounted in alternate
holes (A & B or B & C) to optimize adjustment range. It is recommended that the threaded
hole of slide nut is positioned in either hole A or B.
d. Retighten bolt. Repeat for opposite side of chair.
2. Reversing Wheel Lock Mount (Standard Axle Plate Only)
a. Using a 10mm wrench or socket, remove hex bolt (Fig. 56:F) completely and remove wheel
lock assembly from chair.
b. Using a 10mm wrench or socket, remove nuts and washers (Fig. 56:H) from wheel lock
studs and remove wheel lock (Fig. 56:I) from mount.
c. Flip mount around and reassemble wheel lock to mount. Wheel lock may be installed in
either hole D or E to position wheel lock for optimum effectiveness.
d. Reinstall wheel lock onto side frame and into slide nut (Fig. 56:G). Note that slide nut can be
positioned in holes A & B or B & C to optimize adjustment range. It is recommended that
the threaded hole of slide nut be placed in either hole A or B.
e. See 1. Adjustment above for wheel lock adjustment procedure.
f. Repeat for opposite side of chair. Ensure wheel lock is in the same orientation on both sides
of chair.
NOTE: Always loosen and tighten wheel hardware by alternating between the two bolts while
loosening/tightening a little at a time. This prevents overclamping on one set of hardware which
can lead to binding of the fasteners and increased difficulty in removal.
