112786 Rev. F 24ENG LIS H IX. DEALER SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTP. REAR AXLEThe most important adjustment on your Quickie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle. The center of gravi-ty and wheel camber are determined by the axle adjustment.1. Center of Gravity AdjustmentWARNINGThe more you move your rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip over backwards. Always makeadjustments in small increments, and check the stability of your chair with a spotter to prevent a tip-over. We rec-ommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.Refer to additional Warnings in Section VI “Falls and Tip Over”.NOTE– Changes to the center of gravity may affect the rear seat height (Section K), toe-in/toe-out of the rearwheels (Section M-3) and the squareness of the casters (Section P). If you change your center of gravityposition, re-adjust all of these settings if necessary.NOTE– Adjusting your chair’s center of gravity will require re-adjusting the location of the wheel locks(if provided). See Section R for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.NOTE– Range of adjustment can be limited by chair configuration and options selected.Quickie Q7 AdjustableYou can adjust your center of gravity position by moving the two axle plate clamps (A) forward or rearward onthe seat tube (B). Moving the axle plate clamps forward shortens the wheelbase and lightens the front end, mak-ing your chair more maneuverable. Moving the axle plates rearward makes the chair more stable and less likelyto tip over rearward.To adjust the center of gravity location, remove both rear wheels. Loosen the 4 screws (C) (2 per side) thatsecure the axle plates (A) to the seat tubes. Slide both axle clamps forward or rearward along the seat tube tothe desired position. Make sure both sides are adjusted symmetrically before tightening screws. Tighten screws to62 in-lbs. (7 Nm).Once the axle plate clamps are secured, attach the rear wheels.
