I. WHEEL LOCKS
Note: Use a torque setting of 100 in.-lbs. when
setting up wheel locks.
1.Low-Mount Scissor Wheel Locks: Loosen screws on top clamp. Slide assembly toward rear wheel until clamp embeds into tire to prevent wheel move- ment, when in locked position. Adjust angle position and tighten screws.
Using wheel locks for braking is danger- ous. Use wheel locks for parking ONLY. When properly adjusted, wheel locks pre- vent the rear wheels from turning when the chair is parked. Always adjust the wheel locks after making any changes to the rear axle sleeve position. Wheel locks should be embedded into the tires to pre- vent wheel movement.
2.High-Mount Push-to-Lock or Pull-to- Lock Wheel Locks:
To adjust push-to-lock toggle type locks that mount with a split clamp, loosen the screws on the top of each clamp. Using a 3/16” Allen wrench, turn one of the screws coun- terclockwise one-quarter turn. Repeat the same process with the second of the two screws. Alternately loosen the screws (two turns each) until both screws are removed. Slide clamp toward the rear wheel until the wheel lock is embedded into the tire to prevent wheel movement (when in the locked position). Tighten screws. Some adjustments to the wheel lock position can be accomplished without moving the clamp. To adjust, loosen the two socket-head cap screws on the top of the clamp. Slide the mounting bar forward or backward and rotate it to the correct angle position. The wheel lock should embed into the tire to prevent wheel movement when in the locked position. Tighten screws.
Note: High-mount push-to-lock require frame
modifications for use on your Shadow Rigid.

J.FOOTREST
Adjust height by removing bolts and sliding footrest up or down to desired position. Replace bolts.
Note: Footrest adjusts in 3/4” increments. Keep footrest 1”-2” above the ground. Use a torque set- ting of 100 in./lbs. when adjusting footplate.
K. ANTI-TIP TUBES (Optional)
Note: Use a torque setting of 100 in.-lbs. when set-
ting up the anti-tip tubes.
Remove anti-tip tubes from anti-tip receivers. Remove button head bolts from camber tube mounting brackets. Install anti-tip receiver on the underside of the camber tube with the long part of the tube facing rearward. Use the longer screw supplied with the anti-tips and reinstall the camber tube and mounting brackets. Insert the anti-tip tube into the receiver. Turn the anti-tip tube down until release pin is through the receiver mounting hole. Insert second anti-tip tube the same way.
CAUTION:To allow the anti-tip tubes to func- tion properly there must be a 1 1/2” to 2” clearance from the anti-tip wheel to the ground. To maintain this clearance an adjust- ment in the positioning of the anti-tip tube should be made to correspond with any change in seat height.
Failure to adjust anti-tip tubes correctly can result in injury to the rider. Anti-tip tubes are available from your local authorized Quickie supplier. Quickie Designs recom- mends anti-tip tubes for wheelchairs.
