Installing/Repositioning The Axle Bushing And/Or The Axle Plate - Invacare ProSPIN X4 Owner's Manual

Installing/Repositioning the Axle Bushing and/or the Axle Plate

NOTE: If installing/repositioning the axle bushing only, follow STEPS 4‐8.
NOTE: If repositioning the axle plate, move the right axle plate to the left side of the wheelchair
and the left axle plate to the right side of the wheelchair.
NOTE: A "X" shaped axle plate orientation mark is located on one end of the axle plate next to the
axle bushing mounting holes to indicate axle plate orientation ("X" at top of axle plate indicates
the up position, "X" at bottom of axle plate indicates the down position) (Detail "A").
1. Using the two top mounting screws and locknuts, secure the top of the axle plate to
the wheelchair frame so that the axle plate curves towards the rear of the wheelchair.
Loosely tighten mounting screws and locknuts.
2. Using the two bottom mounting screws, secure the bottom of the axle plate and any
camber spacers and/or anti‐tipper bracket present to the wheelchair frame.
3. Securely tighten all four mounting screws and locknuts.
4. Insert the axle bushing into the desired axle bushing mounting position.
NOTE: When installing the axle bushing ensure the number of threads showing beyond the outside
jam nut is the SAME for both rear wheels. This will help avoid a ʺ3‐wheelingʺ situation.
5. Using the two jam nuts and large washer, secure the axle bushing to the axle mounting
plate. Torque jam nuts to 40‐45 ft‐lbs.
6. Perform one of the following:
• Removing/Repositioning the Axle Plate ‐ Repeat STEPS 1‐3 to install the remaining
axle plate.
• Removing/Repositioning the Axle Bushing ‐ Repeat STEPS 4‐5 to install the
remaining axle bushing.
7. Reinstall the rear wheel(s) onto the wheelchair. Refer to Removing/Installing Rear
Wheels on page 67.
8. If wheels come into contact with the wheelchair frame or arms adjust the wheel base
width. Refer to Adjusting Wheelbase Width on page 74.
