V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
T. Catalyst 5Vx
1. Center of Gravity (Fig. 33):
Moving the axle plate on the frame shifts the center of gravity changing the weight
distribution between the casters and the rear wheels. As it is moved forward, more
of the weight is on the rear wheel. This takes weight off of the front casters and can
make it easier to maneuver the wheelchair. It also causes the wheelchair to be less
stable and makes tipping over backward easier. The further back the axle, the more
stable the chair becomes. Ki Mobility recommends you work with your authorized
Ki Mobility supplier when considering making this adjustment.
WARNING: You should always use anti-tips when trying your chair after making adjustments to
the axle placement. Failure to do so could cause you to tip over or lose control and cause serious
injury or death.
DANGER: Adjusting the axle plate too far forward can result in a chair that may tip over
backward resulting in a fall or loss of control and cause severe injury or death.
2. Rear Seat Height Adjustment (Figure 34):
The seat height can be adjusted by moving the axle sleeve vertically in
the predrilled holes in the axle plate. This adjustment allows a 5"
vertical seat height adjustment.
NOTE: A front caster adjustment should be made to correspond
with any change in seat height. See Section Z. Caster Forks.
3. Adjusting the Wheel Base Width (Fig. 34)
The sleeve that holds the axle is adjustable in and out. Adjusting this
sleeve allows the user to move the wheels closer or further away from
the axle plate which increases or decreases the overall width.
Increasing the overall width will improve side to side stability, but may
make it harder to fit through doors. Decreasing the overall width may
improve accessibility. When decreasing the overall width, make sure
you do not create a condition where the wheels rub on armrests or
other parts of the chair.
a. Loosen the nuts and turn the axle sleeve in or out as desired (Fig. 34). Count the number of
threads showing and repeat on the opposite side.
b. Retighten nuts.
