2. Wheel Base Width Adjustment
Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the rider the option to move the wheels closer or fur-
ther away from the hips. This gives the proper wheel spacing to maximize pushing efficiency.
a. Loosen the nuts, and reposition the axle sleeve (A) to the desired width.
b. Retighten nuts.
3. Seat Height Adjustment
To adjust the seat height, invert the axle plate and move vertically to align with the appropri-
ate predrilled frame holes. Compare figures 8 and 10. Figure 8 represents the short seat
height. Figure 10 represents the tall seat height. This adjustment allows a 1.5" vertical seat
height adjustment.
NOTE– A new front caster wheel should be used to correspond with any change in seat height.
4. Rear Wheel Axle Adjustment
Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper
performance of the wheelchair.
a. To adjust the axle you will need a 5/16" wrench to turn the outside axle nuts.
b. You will also need a 9/16" wrench to lodge the ball bearings, on the opposite end of
the axle, and prevent the axle from turning.
c. Turn the outside axle nut counterclockwise to tighten.
d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010") of play.
I. WHEEL LOCKS
Quickie M6 wheelchairs are shipped with two wheel locks. Wheel locks are installed at the
factory unless you have requested otherwise.

1. Push-to-Lock Wheel Locks Adjustment
a. Using a 3/16" Allen wrench, turn one of the screws in the clamp counterclockwise one-
quarter turn.
b. Repeat the same process with the second of the two screws.
c. Alternately loosen the screws (two turns each) until both screws are removed.
d. To prevent wheel movement when in the locked position, slide clamp toward the rear
wheel until the wheel lock is embedded into the tire.
e. Tighten screws.

drawn inside.
