Rear Wheel Installation
1. For standard 20” rear wheels – axle
plate must be mounted in rear axle
position, mounted above frame rail.
Wipe aluminum parts with a clean, soft cloth at least once
a week. All metal parts can be cleaned with mild deter-
gent on a soft cloth. If exposed to moisture, dry immedi-
ately. Do not use abrasive cleanser that will scratch the
finish. Tires should be cleaned occasionally with a damp
cloth. Replace tires if they become severely worn or
cracking appears.
Front Wheels should be checked periodically and lubri-
cated occasionally. Lubricate by removing fork and greas-
ing caster stem bearings. Lubricate wheel bearings by
removing wheel from fork. Reassemble fork and wheel by
tightening nuts until no play remains, but wheels roll free-
ly. If nut is too loose, wheel will shimmy, if too tight, chair
will be hard to steer.
Rear Wheels should be inspected at least once a month
and make sure each spins freely. To adjust the play,
remove the wheel and with a wrench on the axle nut and
on the flat end on the other side adjust the length of the
axle until the wheel has the least amount of side play
when the plunger pops out.
general care
2. To use optional 12” rear wheels remove axle plate
bolts, move axle plate to forward position, below
the frame rail. Re-install bolts and tighten to secure.
Depress quick release axle button and slide axle into
axle sleeve.
