Note: On YG Series chairs, before starting this
procedure you must make sure the camber plug flats
(see Figure 75) are identically oriented on both sides
of the chair. A bubble level or angle finder can be used
to check this. If it is necessary to adjust the two halves
of the YG Series camber tube so as to correctly orient
the camber plug flats, you will need to loosen the
Allen Screws on the camber tube expansion bracket
(see Figure 135 on page
91). Whether or not the
adjustment described in the previous sentence is
necessary, before starting the procedure below you
must make sure the camber tube expansion bracket
(see Figure 135 on page
91) is fully tightened so the
two halves of the YG Series camber tube will rotate as
one integral unit.
1. Make sure the distance from the end of the camber
tube to the camber mount clamp is identical on both
sides of the chair. See Figure 76.
2. Make sure the rear wheels are properly inflated.
3. Place the chair on all four wheels with the front
casters trailing toward the rear of the frame. See
Figure 77.
4. Measure from the floor to the center of the axle
("Measurement A"). Be sure the tape measure/ruler
is perpendicular to the floor.
5. Block the wheels with a heavy object so the chair
can not roll forward or backward (do not use the
wheel locks as this may affect the toe-in/toe-out
adjustment).
6. Measuring from the floor at the rear of each tire,
mark the tire (with a felt tip pen) at the same height
as Measurement A.
7. Measuring from the floor at the front of each tire,
mark the tire (with a felt tip pen) at the same height
as Measurement A.
8. Measure the distance between the left and right tires
at the rear reference marks made in step 6. See
Figure 78.
9. Measure the distance between the left and right tires
at the front reference marks made in step 7.
10. If the measurements in steps 8 and 9 are the same
(within 1/8"), no toeing adjustment is needed, and
you may skip to step 13. If not, proceed to step 11.
11. Loosen the Allen Screw in each camber mount
clamp that secures the camber tube in place.
12. If the measurement in step 9 is less than the
measurement in step 8, rotate the camber tube
using the 7/8" Open End Wrench rearward to toe-
out the rear wheels. If the measurement in step 9 is
greater than the measurement in step 8, rotate the
camber tube using the 7/8" Open End Wrench
forward to toe-in the rear wheels. Continue adjusting
the camber tube until these two measurements are
equal. See Figure 79.
13. Securely tighten the Allen Screws in the camber
tube mount.
14. Square the front casters to the floor.
