Axle Adjustment - Zippie IRIS Manual De Usuario

Set-up and Adjustment
Moving the axles FORWARD shifts more of the rider's weight onto the REAR
wheels, providing the following benefits: the front end of the wheelchair becomes
lighter, thus reducing the turning effort, and with a shorter wheelbase the turning
radius is reduced.
