Q. Axle Plate
1. Adjusting Axle Plate Position
a. Using two 13mm wrenches, remove axle plate screws (Fig. 36:A) from both sides of chair,
noting orientation of anti-tip receiver (Fig. 36:B).
b. Slide axle plates (Fig. 36:C) simultaneously forward or rearward to desired location.
c. Replace and tighten axle plate screws.
d. If equipped with foot operated tilt, the tilt lock linkage will need to be readjusted (See Sec-
tion N, Step 2:B).
e. Ensure both axle plates are in the same locations on the base frames.
DANGER: Adjusting the axle plate too far forward can result in a chair that may tip over
backward resulting in a fall or loss of control that could cause severe injury or death.
WARNING: Increasing the seat to back angle will change the center of gravity of the wheelchair.
Make sure your axle position is adjusted properly in order to maintain constant stability of the
wheelchair. Reference instruction for axle plate position at top of page and Fig. 36.
