Castor Fork Adjustments; Wheel Lock Adjustments - Invacare NXT Generation NEXT User Manual

Wheel locks are not designed to slow the chair down when it is moving. When the
chair is stopped, engaging properly adjusted wheel locks will prevent the rear
wheels from turning.
Adjustable Height Flip Back Armrest
To adjust the arm height, flip the release
lever (under the front of the arm pad) to
the horizontal position. Slide the arm upward
to the desired location. Flip the release
lever back to the vertical position.
Castor Fork Adjustment
Interchanging castors can easily be done with
dual hole castor forks. Currently, 3", 5" , 6"
and 7" castors are available for use. A smaller
fork is used with the 3" castor only. To adjust,
loosen the bolt and remove the castor. Change
the castor and/or position the castor upward
or downward in pre-drilled holes on the castor
fork. Replace the bolt and tighten securely.
Wheel Lock Adjustment
When the rear wheel is repositioned, it is important
that the wheel lock is readjusted also.
Adjustment can be made by loosening the 1/4-
20 x 1" button head screws and sliding the wheel
lock assembly along the frame tubing so that the
wheel lock contacts the tyre in the locked posi-
tion. Continue to adjust until the knurled grip
handle embeds into the tyre approximately 1/4"
when in the locked position. Tighten the screw
until wheel lock is snug to frame tube.
