Rear Wheel Attachment Xlt Max - Invacare XLT Max User Manual

5.12 REAR WHEEL ATTACHMENT XLT MAX

A
By changing the position of the rearwheel on the rear-
wheel attachment you can alter both the rear seat height
and the manoeuvrability/stability of the wheelchair. The
further forward the rearwheel is positioned, the more
manoeuvrable your chair becomes, but with reduced
stability. For seatheights and positions, please refer to
the seat height table.
1. To alter the height position of the rearwheel plate, use
an Allen key to hold the screws (A) in place and loosen
nuts (B) with a fixed spanner. Choose the new position
and fasten the screws.
2. To move the rearwheel (either backwards/forwards
or up/down) on the rearwheel attachment, first remove
the nut (C), adjust the axle housing (D) to the required
position and then refasten the nut.
3. You adjust the camber (0° or 2°) by turning the rear
wheel fixation plate. See the markings (E) on the inside
of the rearwheel plates. R0 stands for right side, 0°. The
marking with the desired camber should be placed in the
back upper corner of the rearwheel plate.

The tip risk increases if the rear
wheels are located in front of the
backrest. Use anti-tip devices.
Always remember to adjust the
brakes, when the rearwheel position
has been changed.
When you have fitted the wheels in
the correct position, it is important
that you check thoroughly that
the nuts and screws are tightened
securely. The axle housing should
be tightened with a manual and
dynamometric wrench calibrated to
40Nm. This is important for your
own safety!
