d.Insert anti tip receiver hardware with axle sleeve through desired hole of the axle plate from the inside of the wheelchair.

e.Re-install and tighten outside nut.

f.Repeat on opposite side of wheelchair.

4. Seat Height Adjustment 20

Seat height can be adjusted by repositioning the axle sleeve (A) vertically in one of the predrilled holes in the axle plate. Switch axle plates left to right (and upside down) for 1/2" adjustments.

N. CASTERS

NOTE– Setting the wheelchair on a very flat table or a workbench makes this setting more accurate.

NOTE ON TORQUE SETTING– A torque setting is the optimum tightening which should be made on a par- ticular fastener. Use proper torque settings when specified.

1. Adjusting Caster Angle 23 24

Checking for Caster Squareness:

Your Quickie wheelchair leaves the factory with the casters adjusted square. Any time you change your wheelchair rear axle height, rear tire size, center of gravity position or camber tube, you should check that the casters are still square. A caster that is not square will result in the caster lifting off the floor as it rotates around the stem bolt 23 and may also lift the front of the wheelchair up and down. Check for squareness by placing your wheelchair on a flat, horizontal surface. Rotate both forks so that the casters are towards the rear of the wheelchair. Place a square or pocket level against the flat surface on the rear of the fork and note whether this surface is vertical (square) 24 . If this surface is more than 2 degrees away from vertical, your casters require re-squaring.
