3.To reinstall the rear wheel(s) onto the wheelchair, reverse STEPS 1-2.

4.Adjust wheel locks. Refer to WHEEL LOCK ADJUSTMENT in PROCEDURE 6 of this manual.

WARNING

Make sure the detent pin and locking pins of the quick-release axle are fully released BE- FORE operating the wheelchair.

The locking pins MUST be protruding past the inside of the rear wheel axle bushing for a posi- tive lock.

Keep locking pins clean.

Invacare recommends inserting quick-release axles with the head end to the inside of the wheelchair to prevent accidental release dur- ing contact activities.

5.If the locking pins are not protruding past the in- side of the axle bushing or there is too much move- ment of the rear wheel assembly in a back and forth position, refer to ADJUSTING THE QUICK- RELEASE AXLE in this section of the manual.
