10. Reinstall rear wheel to the wheelchair. Refer to REMOVING/INSTALLING REAR
WHEELS in this section of the manual.
11. Adjust toe in/toe out of wheelchair. Refer to ADJUSTING TOE IN/TOE OUT in this
section of the manual.
DETERMINING TOE IN/TOE OUT (FIGURES 8 AND 9)
1. Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pressures (p.s.i.)(listed on the sidewall of the
tire).
2. Measure the distance between the centerlines at the rear and front of the rear
wheels at approximately 12-inches from the ground/floor (FIGURE 8).
NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the wheelchair occupied.
3. Determine difference between two (2) measurements. If difference between the two
(2) measurements is GREATER than 1/2-inch (0 + 1/4-inch for maximum
rollability), one (1) of two (2) conditions exists:
A. If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is SMALLER than the
front centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE-OUT condition
exists (FIGURE 9).
B. If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is LARGER than the front
centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE-IN condition exists (FIGURE 9).
4. If the difference between the measurements is greater than 1/2-inch, correct the
toe-in/toe-out condition. Refer to ADJUSTING TOE-IN/TOE-OUT in this section of
the manual.
