COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your wheelchair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as drive wheel position, seatback depth, anti-tip wheels position, seatback angle and height, swing- away footrest length, elevating leg rest length and angle, calf pad height and depth, angle adjustable foot plate angle and depth, armrest height and angle, seat angle, caster angle, positioning belt, wheel lock position, and seat tension.

WARNING! The center of gravity of your wheelchair was factory set to a position that meets the needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab Provider has evaluated your wheelchair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! Some wheelchair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry them. Please refer to “Appendix I - Specifications” for specific component weights before you disassemble the wheelchair.

WARNING! Remove the occupant from the wheelchair before making any adjustments.

NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the disassembly or adjustment of the wheelchair must be replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may cause damage to the nylon insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores or through your Quantum Rehab Provider.

Drive Wheel Adjustments

Each drive wheel is attached to the frame by an axle bracket. The location of the drive wheel center bolt and nut on the axle bracket determines the drive wheel position. The location of the axle bracket on the wheelchair frame determines the drive wheel height and can affect performance and center of gravity.

Figure 13. Drive Wheel Quick Release

WARNING! The more forward in standard configuration and the more rearward in reverse configuration that you adjust your drive wheel, the more likely your wheelchair will tip over. Always make adjustments in small increments, and check the stability of your wheelchair with a Quantum Rehab Provider or 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 that you are not at risk to tip over.
