REAR WHEELS
QUICK-RELEASE AXLES (FIGURE 2)
NOTE: Quick-release axles are available on Non-Recliner wheelchairs ONLY.
NOTE: If replacing the same size rear wheel, note the mounting position on the wheelchair frame
for proper reinstallation of the NEW rear wheel.
1. Push in the detent pin of the quick-release axle (with wheel) and pull the axle out
through the opening in the center of the rear wheel and axle spacer.
2. Push in the detent pin of the quick-release axle again and pull the axle out of the
rear wheel.
3. Repeat STEPS 1-2 for the opposite rear wheel.
4. To reinstall the rear wheel onto the wheelchair, reverse STEPS 1-3.
WARNING
Make sure the detent pin and locking pins of the quick-release axle are
fully released BEFORE operating the wheelchair.
The locking pins MUST be protruding past the inside of the rear wheel
axle bushing for a positive lock.
Keep locking pins clean.
Invacare recommends inserting quick-release axles with the detent pin to
the inside of the wheelchair to prevent accidental release during contact
activities.
5. If the locking pins are not protruding past the inside of the axle bushing or there is
too much side to side movement of the rear wheel assembly, refer to ADJUSTING
THE QUICK RELEASE AXLE in this section of the manual.
