Adjusting the centre of balance

The centre of balance can be adjusted by changing
the position of the rear wheels.
When the position of the rear wheels is moved for-
wards the wheelchair becomes more manoeuvrable,
but the tendency to tip backwards increases.
- Move the hub sleeves/rear wheels forward or
backwards (pos 1, 2, 3).
See section "Adjusting seat height by changing rear
wheel position".
- Adjust the user brake, see section "Brake, adjust-
ment".
Limitations (loss of user brake function), see illustra-
tion.
