After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attachment
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise, injury or damage may result.

Replacing/Adjusting the Wheel Locks

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.1.
NOTE: Before adjusting or replacing the high/undermount wheel locks, ensure that the tires are
inflated to the recommended psi on the sidewall of the tire.

Replacing the Wheel Lock

1. Remove the hex screws and remove the existing wheel lock from the wheelchair.
2. Install the new wheel lock and secure with the existing hardware.

Adjusting the Wheel Lock

1. Engage the wheel locks.
NOTE: Any wheel lock adjustment should embed the wheel lock shoe at least 3/16-inch into the
pneumatic tire (1/8-inch for urethane wheels) when engaged.
2. If necessary, loosen the hex screw(s) that secure the wheel locks to the wheelchair
frame and adjust position of the wheel lock until the 3/16-inch (1/8-inch for urethane
wheels) measurement is obtained for correct wheel lock adjustment.
3. Securely tighten the hex screw(s).
4. Engage the wheel locks and push against the wheelchair and determine if the wheel
locks engage the wheel locks enough to hold the wheelchair.
5. Repeat the above procedures until the wheel locks hold the wheelchair.
