Determining/Adjusting Toe In/Toe Out

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.3.

Determining Toe In/Toe Out

1.Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pressures (listed on the sidewall of the tire).

2.Measure the distance between the center lines at the rear and front of the rear wheels at approximately 12 inches from the ground/floor.

NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the handcycle occupied.

NOTE: Step 2 may be performed with using alignment gauge (available as an option for the handcycle). Refer to Using the Alignment Gauge on page 74.

3.Determine the difference between the two measurements. If the difference between the two measurements is greater than 1/8‐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.

•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.

4.If the difference between the measurements is greater than 1/8‐inch, correct the toe‐in/toe‐out condition. Refer to Adjusting Toe In/Toe Out on page 45.
