V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
H. Wheel Camber
Wheel camber, shown as an angular relationship (Fig. 9:A), provides greater side-to-side stability
due to the increased width and angle of the wheelbase. It also allows for quicker turning and
greater access to the top of the handrims.
Wheel camber is determined by pairs of interchangeable camber adapters (Fig. 10:B) which are
available from your authorized supplier in 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, and 8° angles.

I. Wheelbase Width Adjustment
Adjusting the wheelbase width allows the rider the option to move the wheels closer or further
away from the hips. It also compensates for camber adjustment and gives the proper wheel
spacing to maximize pushing efficiency.
Adjust the wheelbase width:
1. Loosen the nut (Fig. 11:A) with a 24mm wrench and turn the threaded axle sleeve (Fig. 11:B) in
or out to the desired width.
2. Retighten nut.
3. Repeat on opposite side.
