V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
I. Setting Toe to Zero
NOTE: A wheelchair equipped with 0° camber plugs cannot have a toe-in toe-out condition. This
adjustment is only required when using 2°, 4°, 6° and 8° camber adapters.
Toe refers to how well the rear wheels of the chair are aligned relative to the ground. It affects how
well the chair will roll. Drag or rolling resistance is optimally minimized when the wheel toe is set to
zero.
To Set Toe to Zero:
1. Loosen the cap screws (Fig. 10:A) (1 per side) that secure the camber tube clamp.
2. Rotate the camber tube (Fig. 10:B) until the screws (Fig. 10:C) that secure the camber
studs are level with the ground. The toe is now set at zero.
3. Before tightening the screws (Fig. 10:A), make certain that the camber tube is centered
left-to-right relative to the wheelchair frame. There should be an equal gap on both sides
or none at all.
4. Tighten screws in a balanced fashion - tighten one screw to 50 in./lbs and then the second
to 50 in./lbs. Return to tighten the first screw to 80 in./lbs. and finally the second screw to
80 in./lbs. Repeat on opposite side.
