D. REAR AXLE
The most important adjustment on your Zippie wheelchair is the position of the rear axle.
The center of gravity and wheel camber are determined by the axle adjustment.
1. Center of Gravity Adjustment
The more you move your rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip
over backwards. Always make adjustments in small increments, and check the
stability of your chair with a spotter to prevent a tip-over. We recommend that
you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change and are sure you are not at
risk to tip over. Refer to additional Warnings in Section VI "Falls and Tip Over".
NOTE– Changes to the center of gravity may affect the rear seat height (Section J), toe-in/toe-out of the rear
wheels (Section L-3) and the squareness of the casters (Section N). If you change your center of gravity
position, re-adjust all of these settings if necessary.
NOTE– Adjusting your chair's center of gravity will require re-adjusting the location of the wheel locks
(if provided). See Section P for instructions on adjusting the wheel locks.
You can adjust your center of gravity position by moving the camber clamp (C) fore or aft of
the axle plate (A). Using a 4mm Allen Key remove the bolt (B) from both the left and right
side of the wheelchair. Position the camber clamp in the new preferred center of gravity
location. Secure bolt back into position using 62 in-lbs. (7 Nm) of torque.
Ensure both sides of the wheelchair are using the same center of gravity position settings.
Once the axle plate and camber clamp are secured, attach the rear wheels, occupy the chair
and maneuver it with a spotter to get a feel for the new adjustment.
