Q R I
3. Setting Toe-in toe-out to zero
NOTE– A wheelchair equipped with 0° camber plugs cannot have a toe-in toe-out condition. This adjust-
ment is only required when using 3° camber plugs.
Toe refers to how well the rear wheels of the chair are aligned relative to the direction of
travel. It affects how well the chair will roll. Drag or rolling resistance is best when the wheel
toe is set to zero.
Setting the Toe to Zero
Place the entire wheelchair on a flat horizontal table or ground surface. Loosen the 2 cap
screws (E) (one per side) that secure the camber tube clamp. Locate the flat surfaces on the
front and rear of the camber plugs (H). Place an object that is known to have an accurate 90°
corner (such as a carpenters square, drafting triangle, etc.) down on the flat horizontal sur-
face and up against the flat of the camber plug. Rotate the camber tube and plug assembly
until the flat surface of the camber plug is parallel to the measuring tool. Complete this
process for both sides of the chair by only rotating the camber plug on the second side.

Center Camber Tube
Before tightening the screws (E), 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 of the wheel-
chair or none at all. Torque the fasteners to 144 in-lbs. (16.3 Nm).
