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.

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
2
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.
