D. REAR AXlE sYstEM
the most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. the center of
gravity, wheel camber and wheelbase are all determined by the axle adjustment.
Use a torque setting of 144 in.-lbs. when adjusting rear axle.
the more you move your rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backwards. Always
make adjustments in small increments, and check the stability of your chair with a spotter to prevent a tip-
over. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at
risk to tip over. Refer to additional Warnings in section Vi "Falls and tip-overs".
notE–Adjusting your chair's center of gravity will require re-adjsuting the location of the wheel locks
(if provided). see "Wheel locks" section, for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.
