2. Push in the tip of the quick-release axle again and insert the axle (with wheel) into the axle mounting plate on the side of the wheelchair frame
until the assembly locks in place.
WARNING
Make sure detent pin and locking pins of the quick-release axles are fully released before operating the wheelchair.
