Determining Toe In/Toe Out - Invacare Top End Everyday Series User Manual

6.10 Determining Toe In/Toe Out

1. Inflate all pneumatic tyres to recommended tyre pressures (listed on the sidewall of the tire).
2. Measure the distance between the centerlines at the rear and front of the rear wheels at approximately 12 inches (30.48 cm) from the ground/floor.

For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the wheelchair occupied.
3. Determine difference between two measurements. If difference between the two measurements is greater than 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) (0 + 1/4-inch (.63
cm) for maximum rollability), one of two conditions exists:
• If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is SMALLER than the front centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE-OUT
condition exists .
• If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is LARGER than the front centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE-IN
condition exists.
4. If the difference between the measurements is greater than 1/2-inch (1.27 cm), correct the toe-in/toe-out condition.
