1 - Remove the rear wheel from the wheelchair before attempting to replace hand rim. If
needed, see Removing and Replacing Rear Wheels above.
2 - Remove the mounting screws and washers that secure the hand rim to the rear
wheel, and remove the hand rim.
3 - Align new hand rim so that the holes in hand rim line up with the holes in the rim,
and replace mounting screws and washers.
REMOVING AND REPLACING FRONT WHEEL
DO NOT change wheel sizes. Your product is design for a specific size wheel, and your
forks will not safely accommodate larger or smaller wheels.
1 - Remove axle bolt and hardware (washer, locknut, spacer, etc).
2 - Remove old wheel.
3 - Line up new wheel to ensure that you use same fork holes as the old wheel used.
4 - Replace axle bolt and hardware (washer, locknut, spacer, etc).
5 - Rotate (or spin wheel) to ensure proper fitting and alignment. Wheel should not
wobble, grind, or catch.
BRAKES
ADJUSTING BRAKES
DO NOT operate brakes while the product is moving. DO NOT attempt to stop the
product using brakes (these brakes are NOT designed to withstand the force required).
1 - Disengage brakes.
2 - Loosen the bolt and locknut that secure the brake to the frame.
3 - Reposition the brake so that if it were engaged, it would press against the wheel and
depress it 1/8 inch.
4 - Securely tighten the bolt and locknut attaching the brake to the frame.
5 - Engage brake and test to ensure that product does not move, and wheel does not
turn, when pushed.
6 - If product moves with brake engaged, then repeat above steps and slightly increase
the amount that brake depresses wheel when engaged.
ANTI-TIPPING SUPPORTS
We recommend that you use anti-tipping supports to enhance the safety of your
product. If your product did not come with anti-tipping supports, and safety is your
concern, then consider purchasing this additional item.
INSTALLING ANTI-TIPPING SUPPORTS
Specific anti-tipping supports are only useful with certain seat angles and heights. If
you cannot properly adjust the anti-tipping supports given your seat angle or seat
height, then DO NOT use product - contact a dealer or technician.
1 – Remove the rear frame tube cap
2 - PRESS the adjustment push button on the anti-tipping support.
3 - Insert anti-tipping support into the tube (wheel facing downward, toward the floor)
until the push button locks into place
4 - Place the product upright on a flat surface.
5 - Anti-tipping supports should be 1 to 2 inches off floor, or they must be adjusted to
this height.
