V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
F. Armrest Warnings
•
All Ki Mobility armrests are designed to detach from the chair and will not bear the weight
of this chair.
•
NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. The armrests will release and the user may fall.
•
Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
WARNING: Failure to heed these instructions may result in a fall, tip-over or loss of control
causing severe injury to the user or others.
G. Center of Gravity Adjustment
The most important adjustment on your Rogue XP wheelchair is the position of the rear axle.
You can adjust your center of gravity by moving the two camber mount clamps (Fig. 8:A) forward
or rearward on the seat tube (Fig. 8:B).
Moving the camber mount clamps forward shortens the wheelbase and lightens the front end,
making your chair more maneuverable. Moving the camber mounts rearward makes the chair
more stable and less likely to tip over rearward.
NOTE: Changes to the center of gravity may affect the rear seat height (see Rear Seat Height
Adjustment on page 31), toe-in / toe-out of the rear wheels (see Setting Toe to Zero on page 25)
and the squareness of the casters (see Caster Angle Adjustment on page 32). If you change your
center of gravity position, readjust all of these settings if necessary.
NOTE: Adjusting your chair's center of gravity will require readjusting the location of the wheel
locks (if provided). See Wheel Locks on page 43 for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.
