® - style retaining material
beneath the seat.

side seat sling.

increase the tension in the seat sling.

F. CUSHION (OPTIONAL)

a) Place cushion on seat sling with VELCRO ®
side down.The beveled edge of the
cushion should be in front.
b) Press firmly into place.
G. REAR AXLES
The most important adjustment on your
Quickie wheelchair is the position of the
rear axle.The center of gravity, wheel
camber and wheelbase are all determined
by the axle adjustment.
Use a torque setting of 100 in.-lbs. when
adjusting rear axle.
1. Center of Gravity
Moving the center of gravity to the front
will lighten the force required to turn the
chair.The further back the axle, the more
stable the chair becomes.
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving
the rear axle forward or backward on the
frame. Moving the axle forward will
increase your turning speed and lighten
the front end.
2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustment provides
greater side-to-side stability due to the
increased width and angle of the wheel-
base.The wheel camber adjustment also
allows for quicker turning and greater
access to the top of the handrims.
Wheel camber is determined by the axle
tube.Tubes are available from your autho-
rized supplier in 0º, 4º, 8º, 12º angles.
