WARNING
NEVER use quick-release axles on the recliner.
If replacing the same size rear wheel, note the mounting position on the wheelchair frame for proper reinstallation of the new rear wheel.
WARNING
Make sure the detent pin and detent balls of the
quick-release axle are fully released before operating the
wheelchair.
The detent balls MUST be protruding past the inside of
the rear wheel axle bushing for a positive lock (Detail

Keep detent balls clean.
Invacare recommends inserting quick-release axles with
the detent pin to the inside of the wheelchair to prevent
accidental release during contact activities.
