TO MOUNT & REMOVE REAR WHEELS
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel (D) to the camber plug (C). When the detent
balls (E) engage into the camber plug the rear wheel effectively becomes locked onto the chair.
Pushing the quick-release button (A) disengages the detent balls and allows mounting, or removal
of the axle and wheel assembly.
Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure both quick-release axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come
off during use and cause a fall.
NOTE–
Setup for this step should include putting the wheelchair on a workbench or table to make the
process easier.
1. To install the Wheel
a. Depress quick-release button (A) fully
b. Insert axle (B) through hub or rear wheel.
c. Keep button (A) depressed as you slide axle (B) into camber plug(C).
d. Release button to lock axle in the camber plug. Adjust the axle if it does not lock.
e. Repeat these steps for the other side of your wheelchair.
2. To Remove the Wheel
a. Depress quick-release button (A) fully.
b. Remove wheel by sliding axle (B) out of camber plug (C)
c. Repeat steps on the other side of your wheelchair.
G. WHEEL LOCKS
Wheel locks are installed at Sunrise and should be adjusted by your qualified service person. Inspect wheel
locks weekly per the maintenance chart. Do not use your chair UNLESS you are sure both wheel-locks can
fully engage. A wheel-lock that is not correctly adjusted may allow your chair to roll, or turn unexpectedly.
Wheel-locks must be adjusted after making sure the tires have the correct air pressure. When fully engaged,
the arm should be imbedded into the tire at least 1/8" to be effective. If you find the wheel locks have
slipped or are not working correctly contact your service provider for proper adjustment.

of the three predrilled holes (H). Release button. Adjust the second anti-tip tube wheel the same way. Both
