(Fig.5.13).
The wheelchair may veer slightly to
the right or left, or the casters may
wobble. This may be caused by the
fol low ing:
Forward and/or reverse wheel
motion has not been set properly.
The camber has not been adjusted
properly.
Caster and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the casters
have not been properly ad justed. Casters should always be
adjusted by an authorized dealer. The caster plates must be
readjusted, and the wheel locks must be checked any time the
rear wheel posi tion has been altered.

To ensure the forks are both set at the same angle, simply
count the exposed splines on each side. (Fig.5.14).
When the correct caster angle is found, the splines form a tight
fit and provide 16° of adjustment in 2° increments. (Fig.5.15).
Use this flat edge to square the fork.
The patented design allows the caster fork to rotate so it can
remain square to the ground when the frame angle is changed.
(Fig.5.16).

The camber may be set be tween
1° and 4°. (Fig.5.18).
This makes it possible to
increase the chair’s lateral
stability as well as its
maneuverability. Remove the
axle plate screws (1). Adjust the
adap ter (2) to the desired angle.
Tighten the screws. (see the
page on torque). Raising the
camber also raises the overall
width of the wheelchair (by about
1 cm per degree). (Fig.5.19).
CAUTION:
It may be necessary to readjust
both the wheel locks and casters.
Axle Plates
(Fig.5.17).
The position of the body’s center of
gravity with respect to the rear
wheels is critical for ensuring easy
and pleas ant use of the wheelchair.
Several positions are possi ble:
moving the axle plate (1)
backwards along the holes drilled
in the frame (2) will make the chair
more stable, but it will not be as
maneuverable as it would be if the axle plate were positioned
farther to the front. You may adjust the seat height by moving
the axle sleeve (3) in the axle plate. When finished, make sure
that all screws have been properly tightened (see the page on
torque).
CAUTION:
It may be necessary to readjust both the wheel locks and
casters.

Use an screw driver and turn
the pin (1) in the front carefully
to the left. Then test the hanger
on the chair. If the hanger
mechanism is not working/
catching anymore, please undo
the task slightly.
If the play is still too large and
the performance not accepted,
please repeat the task.
Lower Leg Lengths
By undoing the clamp screw (Fig. 5.12), you can adjust the
lower leg length. Loosen the clamp screw, adjust the tube with
the footboard to the desired position.
Tighten clamp screws again (see the page on torque). Ensure
that the plastic push joint is located under the clamp screw in
the correct position.
WARNINGS!
Do not stand on the footboard!
When transferring, do not stand on the footboard, there is a risk
of tipping over and injury.
