Adjusting Wheelbase Width
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 11.8 on page 75.
NOTE: Increasing the wheelbase width may prevent the wheelchair from passing through smaller
door jams and other tight places. Consider access to daily activities before increasing wheelbase
width.
1. Remove the rear wheel from the wheelchair. Refer to Removing/Installing Rear
Wheels on page 67.
2. Loosen the two jam nuts that secure the axle bushing to the axle mounting plate.
NOTE: 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.
