Determining Toe In/Toe Out

1. Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pressures (listed on
the sidewall of the tire).
2. Measure the distance between the center lines at the rear and front
of the rear wheels at approximately 12 inches from the
ground/floor.
 For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the
handcycle occupied.
STEP 2 may be performed with using alignment gauge
(available as an option for the handcycle). Refer to Using
the Alignment Gauge on page 90.
3. Determine the difference between the two measurements. If the
difference between the two measurements is greater than 1/8-inch
(for maximum rollability), one of two conditions exists:
• If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is
smaller than the front centerline measurement of the rear
wheels, a toe-out condition exists.
• If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is
LARGER than the front centerline measurement of the rear
wheels, a toe-in condition exists.
4. If the difference between the measurements is greater than
1/8-inch, correct the toe-in/toe-out condition. Refer to Adjusting
Toe In/Toe Out on page 52.
