2.Axle Positioning (Threaded or Offset)

a.When the axle is placed in the lower axle position, the caster should also be placed in the lower caster fork position.

b.When the axle is placed in the top axle position, the caster should also be placed in the top caster fork position (except when using pneumatic rear tires - pneumatic rear tires are always placed in the top axle position).

H. REAR WHEEL LOCKS

The Breezy Series wheelchairs come with wheel locks.We install wheel locks at the factory unless you request otherwise.

Note: Use a torque setting of 25-40 in./lbs. (2.8-4.5 N.m) to tighten wheel lock bolts.

Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least

1/8” (3 mm) when locked. If you fail to do so, the locks may not keep the rear wheels from rolling.
