ANTI-TIP WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give the Jazzy increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the factory to a ground clearance height of 3/4-in. This setting is only for smooth surfaces or indoor use. If you plan on using your Jazzy on rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs.
The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if either of the following occurs:
νWhen coming to a stop, the Jazzy tips forward excessively
νThe anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground
Each drive tire must have 30–35 lbs. of pressure in order to adjust the anti-tip wheels properly.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1.Remove the seat.
2.Use a 5/32-in. hex wrench to loosen and remove the hex screws that fasten the body shroud to the frame.
3.Remove the both body shrouds.
4.Adjust the 13-mm nut so that the anti-tip wheel is 1/2 to 1 inch off the ground. See figure 13.
5.Turn the nut clockwise to lower the anti-tip wheel and counterclockwise to raise the anti-tip wheels.
WARNING! Consult your authorized Pride provider before attempting to change the anti-tip wheel height! Changing the anti-tip wheel height affects handling under deceleration!
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more you increase your power chair’s tendency to tilt forward when coming to a stop. You can compensate for this by having your authorized Pride provider make a small adjustment to the pre-programmed deceleration setting in the controller or by moving the seat assembly further to the rear of your power chair.
