V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
M. Wheel Installation & Removal
1. Installing Wheels (Fig. 15)
a. Push in the axle release button on the axle to allow the
locking balls to retract. Make note of the difference
between the extended and depressed position of the
axle release button and its effect on the locking balls on
the other end of the axle.
b. Insert the axle into the bearing housing on the wheel if
it's separate.
c. Push on the quick release button again and slide axle
into axle sleeve.
d. Release the button to lock axle in sleeve. If release but-
ton does not fully extend and the locking balls do not move into the locked position after
releasing the button, the axle length needs to be adjusted.
2. Adjusting Axles (Fig. 16)
a. To adjust the axle, you will need a 19mm wrench to
turn the adjustment nut. You will also need an 11mm
wrench to securely hold the ball detent end of the axle
to prevent it from turning.
b. If the wheel and axle will not lock into the camber plug,
the axle requires adjustment. Turn the nut counter-
clockwise approximately ¼ revolution and try to lock the axle into the camber plug. If it
doesn't lock, continue making small nut adjustments until it securely locks.
c. If the wheel is locked on the chair, but there is excessive wheel play (the wheel hub can be
pushed back and forth on the axle), adjust the nut clockwise until there is no perceptible
gap between the wheel and camber tube and the axle is securely locked onto the chair.
Review and understand Section M. Wheel Installation & Removal before attempting an axle
adjustment!
3. Removing Wheels
a. Hold the wheel close to the hub and push in the button on the outside end of the axle.
b. While still holding the button, pull the wheel and axle out of the axle sleeve.
DANGER: Ensure the push button is completely extended and the locking balls on the inside of
the chair are fully engaged before operating the wheelchair. Failure to do so may result in the wheel
falling off and may cause serious injury or death.
