Adjustment with Anti Tip Hardware:
NOTE– Before adjusting wheel base estimate distance the rear wheels need to move in or outward.
a. Remove outside nut.
b. Remove anti tip receiver hardware with axle sleeve.
c. Thread axle sleeve in or out as desired, ensuring that the final position leaves the flats of the axle
sleeve parallel to the rear of the anti tip receiver.
d. Insert anti tip receiver hardware with axle sleeve through desired hole of the axle plate from the
inside of the wheelchair.
e. Re-install and tighten outside nut.
f. Repeat on opposite side of wheelchair.
4. Seat Height Adjustment
Seat height can be adjusted by repositioning the axle sleeve (A) vertically in one of the predrilled holes in
the axle plate. Switch axle plates left to right (and upside down) for 1/2" adjustments.
NOTE– A front caster adjustment should be made to correspond with any change in seat height.
M. WHEEL LOCKS
The Quickie 2 Lite wheelchair is shipped with one of four types of wheel locks. Wheel locks are installed at
the factory unless you have requested otherwise.
Use a torque setting of 115 in.-lbs. when setting up wheel locks.
1. High-Mount Push-to-Lock or Pull-to-Lock
a. Using a 3/16 inch hex key, turn one of the screws in the clamp counterclockwise one-quarter
turn.
b. Repeat the same process with the second of the two screws.
c. Alternately loosen the screws (two turns each) until both screws are removed.
d. Slide clamp toward the rear wheel until the wheel lock is embedded into the tire to prevent
wheel movement, when in the locked position.
e. Tighten screws to 115 in-lbs.
2. Ergo Scissor Wheel Locks
Loosen the screws (B) on the top of each clamp using a 3/16 inch hex key. Slide assembly toward rear
wheel until clamp embeds into tire to prevent wheel movement when in locked position. Adjust angle posi-
tion. Tighten screws to 115 in-lbs.
NOTE– Clamp and wheel lock may need to be rotated to clear frame tubing.
N. CASTERS
NOTE– Setting the wheelchair on a very flat table or a workbench makes this setting more accurate.
NOTE ON TORQUE SETTING– A torque setting is the optimum tightening which should be made on a par-
ticular fastener. Use proper torque settings when specified.
1. Adjusting Caster Angle
Checking for Caster Squareness:
Your Quickie wheelchair leaves the factory with the casters adjusted square. Any time you change your
wheelchair rear axle height, rear tire size, center of gravity position or camber tube, you should check
that the casters are still square. A caster that is not square will result in the caster lifting off the floor as it

squareness by placing your wheelchair on a flat, horizontal surface. Rotate both forks so that the casters
are towards the rear of the wheelchair. Place a square or pocket level against the flat surface on the rear
of the fork and note whether this surface is vertical (square)
away from vertical, your casters require re-squaring.
