FIGURE 9 - DETERMINING TOE IN/TOE OUT -
COMPARING CENTERLINE MEASUREMENTS OF
REAR WHEELS
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 maxi-
mum rollability), one (1) of two (2) conditions exists:
a. If the rear 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 rear centerline measurement of the rear
wheels is LARGER than the front centerline
measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE-IN con-
dition exists (FIGURE 9).
4. If the difference between the measurements is greater
than 1/2-inch, correct the toe-in/toe-out condition.
Proceed to ADJUSTING TOE-IN/TOE-OUT in this
procedure of the manual.
