ANTI-TIP WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your Jazzy increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the factory to a height of 1/2-in. off the ground. This setting is for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. 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 occur:
νWhen coming to a stop, your Jazzy tips forward excessively.
νThe anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
Figure 29. Anti-Tip Wheel Adjustment
NOTE: Each drive tire must have at least 30 - 35 lbs. of air pres- sure in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted.
WARNING! Overinflating tires can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1.Place a 1/2-in. wrench on the inner locknut of the anti-tip bracket located right after your shock strut. See figure 29.
2.Turn the locknut counterclockwise to loosen.
3.Place your 1/2-in. wrench on the adjustable cam located on the other side of the locknut. See figure 30.
4.To adjust the anti-tip upward, turn the cam counterclockwise. To
adjust the anti-tip downward, turn the cam clockwise. | Figure 30. Anti-Tip Wheel Adjustment |
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more tendency your Jazzy has to tilt forward when coming to a stop. You can compensate for this by making a small adjustment to the pre-programmed deceleration setting in the controller or by moving the seat assembly further to the rear of your Jazzy. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
