ADJUSTING WHEELBASE LENGTH (ADJUSTING CENTER
OF GRAVITY) (FIGURE 13)
WARNING
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of
the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well
as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any
change to one (1) or any combination of the five (5) may cause the wheelchair to
decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position.
The addition of anti-tippers may be required .
1. Open the receiver tube clamps. Refer to OPENING/CLOSING CLAMPS in this section of the
manual.
WARNING
LENGTHENING THE WHEELBASE - NEVER position the camber system with
the end of the indexing tape (approximately 4-inches) of suspension tube
showing. The suspension tubes WILL NOT be securely tightened in the
wheelchair frame resulting in possible injury to the user and/or damage to the
wheelchair. Refer to FIGURE 13.
2. Position the camber system to the desired position on the wheelchair frame.
LENGTHENING THE WHEELBASE
will increase the stability and maintain standard
maneuverability of the wheelchair. Make sure the end of the indexing tape is not showing.
SHORTENING THE WHEELBASE
will decrease the stability, increase the
maneuverability and distribute additional weight onto the rear wheels.
NOTE: The performance of the wheelchair will be affected if the two (2) suspension tubes are not set to the
same indexing mark. Refer to FIGURE 13.
