 Remove the nut which secures the wheel axle to the frame (Fig 11). Turn the nut on the outside of the wheel counterclockwise 

  in order to unscrew the axle from the frame.

2.

 Reinsert the axle into the hemi-height hole of the frame (Fig. 10). Turn axle and wheel clockwise to secure axle to the frame.

3.

 Replace nut onto axle and secure tightly.

4.

 Adjust front casters into top mounting holes to accommodate the new wheelchair height. Ensure that the wheelchair is level 

  and rolls smoothly.

Elevating The Legrest (For Models Equipped With Legrest)

1.  To elevate the legrest assembly, simply lift up on the legrest assembly by the footplate to the desired height or position.

2.  Release the legrest and it will automatically lock in place due to the ratchet rod.

3.  To lower the legrest assembly, hold onto it by the footplate and push out on the legrest lever.
