(See
Tsunami - Rear Seat

(See

See
for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.
You can adjust your center of gravity by moving the two camber mount clamps (Fig. 4:A) forward

Moving the camber mount clamps forward shortens the wheelbase and lightens the front end,
making your chair more maneuverable. Moving the camber mounts rearward makes the chair more
stable and less likely to tip over rearward.
