Q. REAR WHEEL SPACING
Rear wheel spacing is measured as the gap between the top of the rear wheels and the backcanes, and is shown
as dimension (X ) Factory settings will be as narrow as possible depending on the options chosen.
NOTE– When setting the rear wheel spacing only make adjustments to one side of the chair at a time.
Loosening both sides will undo the toe setting.
T
o adjust the rear wheel spacing, the camber inserts (A) telescope in and out of the camber tube (B) with hard
stops at the outer limit of travel. On the left side of the chair, loosen screws (C) (the ones closest to the camber
tube). Slide the camber insert in or out to establish the required wheel spacing. Tighten screw to 62 in-lbs. (7
Nm). Repeat on the right side of the chair, matching the wheel spacing set on the left side.
R. BACKREST TENSION ADJUSTABLE
To install the Backrest Tension Adjustable
1. Slide Velcro straps (D) over the backrest frame (E)section. Make sure to include at least one
strap below the towel bar (if using a rigid chair).
2. Tighten the straps appropriately to desired tension level. DO NOT overtighten straps as this
will cause undue strain upon the chair backrest frame (E).
3. If using fold down push handles, insert the single Velcro strap (F) through the slots in the front
of the push handles (G).
If using inegral push handles (H), slide straps from bottom of backrest upward.
4. Install backrest cover at desired level and fold over rear of Velcro strapping system ( I ). The
Quickie patch should be upright on the rear of the chair.
5. Finish installation by placing vanity flap (center panel) down onto Velcro on the seat sling to
secure attachment ( J ).
Adjusting the Backrest Tension Adjustable
Suggest using anti tips while making any adjustments. Ensure anti tips are safely secured and in a
position to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
1. User can transfer into wheelchair. Place wheel locks in the locked position
2. From the rear of the wheelchair the attendant can lift the Vanity Flap (Center panel) to access
the strap system. Adjust straps for optimal balance and truck alignment. Ensure the Velcro
straps has a minimum of 2"s of engagement, hook securing to loop. Press the Velcro together
to ensure it's securely engaged.
3. Once adjustments have been finalized replaced Vanity Flap to its original position.
Any changes made to the straps will affect the center of gravity. It is best to have the attendant sta-
tioned behind the wheelchair to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards while the user
becomes accustomed to the adjustment.
