H. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center of
gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
Use a torque setting of 13 Nm [115 in-lbs] when adjusting rear axle.

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 forward or backward on the indexed axle plate.
Moving the axle forward will increase your turning speed and lighten the front end.
