Removing/Installing Rear Wheels

Quick-Release Axles

WARNING

NEVER use quick-release axles on the 9000 XT (models with offset axle option only), 9000XDT or 9000XT recliner wheelchairs.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.1.

NOTE: If replacing the same size rear wheel, note the mounting position on the wheelchair frame for proper reinstallation of the new rear wheel.

1.Push in the detent pin of the quick‐release axle (with wheel) and pull the axle out through the opening in the center of the rear wheel and axle spacer.

NOTE: Axle spacer is used only if wheelchair is equipped with conventional arms.

2.Push in the detent pin of the quick‐release axle again and pull the axle out of the rear wheel.

3.Repeat STEPS 1‐2 for the opposite rear wheel.

4.To reinstall the rear wheel onto the wheelchair, reverse STEPS 1‐3.

NOTE: Make sure axle spacer is between rear wheel and wheelchair frame if wheelchair is equipped with conventional arms.

WARNING

Make sure the detent pin and detent balls of the quick-release axle are fully released before operating the wheelchair.

The detent balls MUST be protruding past the inside of the rear wheel axle bushing for a positive lock (Detail "A").

Keep detent balls clean.

Invacare recommends inserting quick-release axles with the detent pin to the inside of the wheelchair to prevent accidental release during contact activities.
