Headrest; Casters; Axle Plates; Cambers - Quickie Easy 200 Directions For Use Manual

Lightweight footrest
The footrest angle can be adjusted by loosening the screws
(2). Side protection panels can be fitted to the footrest using
the mounting holes (3). These prevent the feet slipping off
accidentally, (Fig. 5.19.6). Make sure that after any adjustment
work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the page on
torque).

Casters

Casters, Caster Plates, Forks
(Fig. 5.21)
The wheelchair may veer slightly to
the right or left, or the casters may
wobble. This may be caused by the
fol low ing:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel
motion has not been set properly.
• The camber has not been
adjusted properly.
• Caster and/or rear wheel air
pressure is incorrect; wheels do not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the casters
have not been properly ad justed. Casters should always be
adjusted by an authorized dealer. The caster plates must be
readjusted, and the wheel locks must be checked any time the
rear wheel posi tion has been altered.

Axle Plates

Axle Plates (Fig. 5.22)
The position of the body's center
of gravity with respect to the rear
wheels is critical for ensuring
easy and pleas ant use of the
wheelchair. Several positions are
possi ble: moving the axle plate (1)
backwards along the holes drilled
in the frame (2) will make the chair
more stable, but it will not be as
maneuverable as it would be if the
axle plate were positioned farther
to the front. You may adjust the seat height by moving the axle
sleeve (3) in the axle plate. When finished, make sure that all
screws have been properly tightened (see the page on torque).
CAUTION!
It may be necessary to readjust both the heel locks and casters.

Cambers

Cambers (Fig. 5.23 - 5.24)
The camber may be set be tween
1° and 4°. This makes it possible to
increase the chair's lateral stability
as well as its maneuverability.
Remove the axle plate screws
(1). Adjust the adap ter (2) to the
desired angle. Tighten the screws.
(see the page on torque). Raising
the camber also raises the overall
width of the wheelchair (by about 1
cm per degree).
CAUTION!
It may be necessary to readjust
both the wheel locks and casters.
