D. REAR AXLES AND AXLE PLATES
The most important adjustment on the Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The
center of gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
The more you move the rear wheels forward, the more likely the chair will tip over backwards. Always
make adjustments in small increments, and check the stability of the chair with a spotter to prevent a
tip-over. We recommend that anti-tip tubes are always used in conjunction with this type of adjustment.

1. Center of Gravity
Moving the center of gravity to the front will lighten the force required to turn the chair. The
further back the axle, the more stable the chair becomes.
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving the rear axle sleeve (A) forward or backward on the
indexed axle plate (B). Moving the axle sleeve forward will increase your turning speed and lighten
the front end. 1/2" adjustments are available per indication marks.

2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustment provides greater side-to-side stability due to the increased width and
angle of the wheelbase. The wheel camber adjustment also allows for quicker turning and greater
access to the top of the handrims.
Wheel camber is set per order at the factory at 0°, 3°, or 6°. More or less camber can be obtained by
increasing or decreasing the number of camber washers (C) located between the axle plates and the frame.
Use a torque setting of 144 in.-lbs. when adjusting rear
NOTE– Adjusting your chair's center of gravity will require re-adjusting the location of the wheel
locks (if provided). See Section T for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.
