C. CLEANING
1. Paint Finish

b. Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax.
2. Axles and Moving Parts
a. Clean around axles and moving parts with a slightly damp (not wet) cloth.
b. Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust or dirt on axles or moving parts.
c. DO NOT USE 3 in 1 oil, or WD-40 ® for lubrication. Only use Teflon based Lubricant when working on
this wheelchair.
D. REAR AXLES AND AXLE PLATES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center of gravi-
ty, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
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 stability 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

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.
a. Remove four retaining bolts (A), nuts and camber spacers on axle plate (B).
b. Move axle plate forward or rearward to desired position.
c. Insert all four bolts and camber spacers back into place on frame. Tighten nuts.
d. Repeat on opposite side of wheelchair.
e. Axle plate and camber must be exactly the same on both sides of the wheelchair.

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. More or less camber can be obtained by increasing or decreasing the number of camber spacers (C)
located between the lower axle plate attachment (D) and frame (E).
