You will need to adjust your chair from time to time for best performance
(especially if you alter the original settings). This chart gives you a first solution, then a second
and a third if needed. You may need to look farther to find the best solution for a specific
problem.
NOTE– To keep track of your progress, make only ONE change at a time.






















SOLUTIONS
Make sure tire pressure is correct and equal in both rear tires and
front caster tires, if pneumatic.

Make sure all nuts and bolts are snug.
Make sure all spokes and nipples are tight on radial spoke wheels.
Use T ri-Flow Lubricant (T eflon™-based) between all modular frame
connections and parts.

Check for proper caster plate adjustment. See instructions for caster
plate adjustment.
Add a spacer washer between the plastic saddle and the caster plate
on the top of the left caster plate.
Add a spacer washer between the plastic saddle and the caster plate
on the top of the right caster plate.
Add a spacer washer between the plastic saddle and the caster plate
on the bottom right caster plate retaining bolts.
Add a spacer washer between the plastic saddle and the caster plate
on the bottom left caster plate retaining bolts.
Make sure there is an equal number of camber washers on each axle
plate.

Make sure both front casters touch the ground simultaneously. If they
do not, add the proper spacers between the bottom bearing of the
caster plate and fork stem nut until they do. Make sure you check for
this problem on a flat surface.
