3. Wheel Base Width Adjustment

Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the rider the option to move the wheels closer or further away from the

hips. It also compensates for camber adjustment and gives the proper wheel spacing to maximize pushing efficiency.

4. Adjust the wheelbase width

a. Loosen the nuts and reposition the axle sleeve (A) to the desired width.

b. Retighten nuts.

5. Seat Height Adjustment

Seat height can be adjusted by moving the axle plate vertically in the predrilled frame holes (B). This adjustment

allows a 3.375" vertical seat height adjustment.

NOTE– A front caster adjustment should be made to correspond with any change in seat height.

E. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT

Tight axle sleeves should be maintained for proper performance of the wheelchair.

a. To adjust the axle (C) you will need a 3/4" wrench to turn the outside axle nuts (E).

b. You will also need a 1/2" wrench to lodge the ball bearings (D), on the opposite end of the axle, and prevent

the axle from turning.

c. Turn the outside axle nut (F) clockwise to tighten.

d. There should only be zero to ten thousandths of an inch (.010") of play.

F. WHEEL LOCKS

The Quickie 2 wheelchair is shipped with one of two types of wheel locks. Wheel locks are installed at the factory

d. Slide clamp toward the rear wheel until the wheel lock is embedded into the tire to prevent wheel move-

ment, when in the locked position.
