WARNING

ADJUSTING WHEELBASE LENGTH (FIGURE 5)

WARNING

The following procedure should be per- formed only by an authorized Invacare Dealer or Qualified Technician.

Mounting rear wheels towards the front of the wheelchair WILL reduce the stabil- ity of the wheelchair. Try various rear wheel positions to find the safest rear wheel position for the users needs.

Wheel locks MUST be adjusted BEFORE us- ing the wheelchair.

Anti-tippers, if equipped, MUST be reposi- tioned BEFORE using the wheelchair.

Lengthening the Wheelbase will increase stability and maintain standard maneuverability of the wheel- chair.

Shortening the Wheelbase will increase maneuver- ability and distribute additional weight onto the rear wheels.

1.Remove the rear wheel from the wheelchair. Re- fer to REMOVING/INSTALLING REAR WHEELS in this procedure of the manual.

2.Loosen the two (2) jam nuts that secure the axle bushing to the axle mounting plate.

3.Move the axle bushing forward or rearward to the de- sired position.

4.Securely tighten the jam nuts that secure the axle bushing to the axle mounting plate.

5.Reinstall the rear wheel onto the wheelchair. Refer to REMOVING/INSTALLING REAR WHEELS in this procedure of the manual.

6.Repeat STEPS 1-5for the opposite side of the wheel- chair.

NOTE: Make sure the axle bushings are mounted in the same position. This will help avoid a "3-wheeling" situa- tion.

7.Adjust the wheel locks. Refer to REPLACING/ AD- JUSTING THE WHEEL LOCK in this procedure of the manual.

8.If wheel chair is equipped with anti-tippers, adjust to maintain proper clearance. Refer to INSTALLING/ ADJUSTING THE ANTI-TIPPERSin this procedure of the manual.
