6.2 Changing the wheelbase

Shifting the rear wheel backwards lengthens the wheelbase and thus provides for greater stabil-
ity of the wheelchair. Shifting the rear wheel forwards (only for advanced wheelchair drivers!)
relieves the load on the casters. This increases the maneuverability of the wheelchair. The caster
wheels can then also be lifted more easily to clear obstacles such as curbs or steps.
