Adjusting Seat Height To Hemi-Height
For models equipped with a dual axle position, the seat height can be lowered.
1. Remove the nut which secures the wheel axle to the frame (Fig 11). Turn the nut on the outside of the wheel counterclockwise
in order to unscrew the axle from the frame.
2. Reinsert the axle into the hemi-height hole of the frame (Fig. 10). Turn axle and wheel clockwise to secure axle to the frame.
3. Replace nut onto axle and secure tightly.
4. Adjust front casters into top mounting holes to accommodate the new wheelchair height. Ensure that the wheelchair is level
and rolls smoothly.
