WARNING

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

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

Keep locking pins clean.

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

5.If the locking pins are not protruding past the inside of the axle bushing or there is too much side to side movement of the rear wheel assembly, refer to ADJUSTING
