SERVICE MANUAL 

CAMBER AND CONVERGENCY 

 

The hole of the cambered receiver, since it is inclined, is not centered. 

Therefore, check the wheel receiver its narrow edge looking upward and its wider edge down. If opposite, the convergence is oppo-
site, too (the wheels are opening apart at top!). 

At 30 cm from the floor, take the measure centre-to-centre between the two tyres in front and at rear. 

If the two measures are equal or the front one is slightly narrower (max. 5 mm), you have a good convergence as drawing 2 or 3. 

If different, you have to adjust the convergence. 

Se differente, è necessario regolare la campanatura. 

Follows next page 

WORK ON A FLAT AND EVEN SURFACE 

The wheel receiver gives the rear wheel camber (cambered receiver). 

The two wheel receivers are fixed to the rear axle, thus, to adjust the convergence, it is necessary to turn the axle.  

The drawing 

1

 shows same inclination (camber) of both rear wheels.  

With cambered wheels, it is necessary to check/adjust the convergence, the distance between the two wheels in front and at rear. 

The drawing 

shows the aerial view of the wheels and the front distance 

DA 

is equal to the rear distance 

DP

, while the drawing 

3

DA 

is narrower than

 DP 

by maximum 5 mm. 

We can say that a good convergence has the 

front distance

 

DA

 equal to or slightly narrower than the 

rear distance

 

DP. 

DA 

must not be wider than 

DP

. In such case, the fluency of wheelchair will not be good.
