IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
T. Setting Toe to Zero
NOTE: A wheelchair equipped with 0° camber plugs cannot have a toe-in toe-out
condition. This adjustment is only required when using 2°, 4°, 6° and 8° camber adapters.
Toe refers to how well the rear wheels of the chair are aligned relative to the ground. It affects
how well the chair will roll. Drag or rolling resistance is optimally minimized when the wheel toe is
set to zero.
How to Set the Toe to Zero
1. Loosen the two bolts (Fig. 24:A) on the camber clamp using a 5mm Allen wrench. If loosened
too much, the square nut may fall out.
2. Remove the wheels.
3. Rotate the camber tube (Fig. 25:B). Rotating towards the front of the chair (Fig. 25:A)
changes the angle of the wheels in and rotating towards the rear (Fig. 25:C) of the chair
changes the angle of the wheels out.
NOTE: The flat sides of the camber tube should be perpendicular to the ground (Fig. 25:D).
4. Reinstall the wheels. Ensure the camber tube is still set in the same position on the left and
right side and retighten the two bolts on the camber clamp.
