6.12 Adjusting Wheelbase Length (Adjusting Center of Gravity)

WARNING
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of
the back upholstery as well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to one or any combination
of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position. The addition of
anti-tippers may be required.

The camber bar is always mounted to the BOTTOM of the wheelchair frame.
1. Perform one of the following:
• Non-Suspension - Loosen, but DO NOT remove the hex screw that secures each of the top clamps to the wheelchair frame.
• Suspension - Loosen, but DO NOT remove the two hex screws that secure each of the top clamps to the wheelchair frame.
2. Position the camber clamps on the wheelchair frame at the desired position.
• Lengthening the Wheelbase - Will increase the stability and maintain standard maneuverability of the wheelchair.
• Shortening the Wheelbase - Will decrease the stability, increase the maneuverability and distribute additional weight onto the rear wheels.

Wheelchair performance will be affected if the camber clamps DO NOT sit flush on the wheelchair frame.
