V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
O. Setting Toe to Zero
NOTE: A wheelchair equipped with 0° camber plugs cannot have a toe-in toe-out condition. This
adjustment is only required when using 2°, 4°, 6° and 8° camber adapters.
Toe refers to how well the rear wheels of the chair are aligned relative to the ground. It affects how
well the chair will roll. Drag or rolling resistance is optimally minimized when the wheel toe is set to
zero.
To Set Toe to Zero:
1. Loosen the two bolts (Fig. 23:A) on the camber clamp using a 5mm Allen wrench. If loosened
too much, be sure to watch for the square nut in case it drops out.

2. Remove wheels.
3. Rotate the camber tube (Fig. 24:A). Rotating towards the front of the chair changes the angle
of the wheels in and rotating towards the rear of the chair changes the angle of the wheels
out.
NOTE: The flat sides of the camber tube should be perpendicular to the ground. See Fig. 24.

and retighten the two bolts on the camber clamp.
