(XLT Max)
By changing the position of the rear wheel on the rear wheel
attachment you can alter both the rear seat height and the
manoeuvrability/stability of the wheelchair. The further forward
the rear wheel is positioned, the more manoeuvrable your chair
becomes, but with reduced stability. For seat heights and positions,
