STANDARD AND SUSPENSION CAMBER CLAMPS - Make sure the hex screws are securely tightened before using the wheelchair, otherwise personal injury or damage to the wheelchair may occur.
8.Close the camber clamp. Refer to Opening/Closing Camber Clamps on page 39.
9.Repeat STEPS 1‐8 for opposite side of wheelchair.
10.Reinstall rear wheel to the wheelchair. Refer to Removing/Installing Rear Wheels on page 35.
11.Adjust toe in/toe out of wheelchair. Refer to Adjusting Toe In/Toe Out on page 43.
Determining Toe In/Toe Out
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.8.
1.Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pressures (listed on the sidewall of the tire).
2.Measure the distance between the centerlines at the rear and front of the rear wheels at approximately 12 inches from the ground/floor (FIGURE 5.8).
NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the wheelchair occupied.
3.Determine difference between two measurements. If difference between the two measurements is greater than 1/2‐inch (0 + 1/4‐inch for maximum rollability), one of two conditions exists:
•If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is SMALLER than the front centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE‐OUT condition exists (FIGURE 5.8).
•If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is LARGER than the front centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE‐IN condition exists (FIGURE 5.8).
4.If the difference between the measurements is greater than 1/2‐inch, correct the toe‐in/toe‐out condition. Refer to Adjusting Toe In/Toe Out on page 43.
