O. SEAT SLING
The seat sling can be adjusted through the use of hook and loop material beneath the seat.
Seat sling also includes a folding strap on the seat to assist in folding the chair.
NOTE– The seat sling folding strap is not intended as a carrying strap.

Adjustment
a. Remove seat rail end caps at the front of the chair (A).
b. Slide the seat sling, plastic retaining rods, and spacers (if present) from the channels in the seat
rails.
c. Readjust hook and loop material to obtain the desired tension in the seat sling.
d. Reinsert the seat sling and plastic retaining rods into the channels in the seat rails.
e. Replace the end caps.
P . REMOVING SEAT RAILS
Detach seat rails by removing the two bolts (B) attaching the seat rail (C) to the cross brace.
Q. SEAT SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
The Quickie 2 features two seat rail connection settings using a reversible seat saddle (D). The "dynam-
ic" position (shown) allows for a more rigid seat rail connection. The "classic" position (not shown) pro-
vides the current tension ideal for folding and unfolding the chair.
To adjust the saddle into either "classic" or "dynamic" position, simply remove the allen bolt (E), reverse
the saddle (D) and retighten.
R. CUSHION INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
a. Place cushion on seat sling with hook material side down. The beveled edge of the cushion should
be in front.
b. Press firmly into place.
S. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center
of gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
Use a torque setting of 144 in.-lbs. when adjusting rear axle.
The more you move your rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip
over backwards. Always make adjustments in small increments, and check the sta-
bility of your chair with a spotter to prevent a tip-over. We recommend that you
use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at risk to
tip over. Refer to additional Warnings in Section VI "Falls and Tip-Overs".
NOTE– Adjusting your chair's center of gravity will require re-adjsuting the location of the wheel locks
(if provided). See Section T for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.

1. Center of Gravity
Moving the center of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair. The further
back the axle, the more stable the chair becomes.
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving the rear axle (F) forward or backward on the indexed axle
plate (G). Moving the axle forward will increase your turning speed and lighten the front end.

2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustment provides greater side-to-side stability due to the increased width and
angle of the wheelbase. The wheel camber adjustment also allows for quicker turning and greater access
to the top of the handrims.
Wheel camber is preset at the factory at 3° for the Quickie 2 and 5° for the Quickie 2HP . More or less
camber can be obtained by increasing or decreasing the number of camber washers (H) located between
the axle plates and the frame.
