theuserorothers.
WARNING:Donotattempttopushyourwheelchairupaninclinethatisslick
orcoatedwithice,oilorwater.Thiscancauseanunstablesituationresultingin
deathorinjurytotheuserorothers.
WARNING:Donotleanoverthesideorbackofthewheelchairtoextend
yourreach.Thismaycauseyoutofalloutofthewheelchairorthewheelchair

IV.WARNINGS
C.PositioningBelts
Positioningbeltsaredesignedtoassistwithproperpositioningwithinthe
wheelchair.Theyarenotdesignedasseatbelts.UsepositioningbeltsONLY
tohelpsupporttheuser’sposture.Misuseofpositioningbeltsmaycausese‐
vereinjurytoordeathoftheuser.
 Ensuretheuserdoesnotslideunderneaththepositioningbeltinthe
wheelchairseat.Ifthisoccurs,theuser’sbreathingmaybehampered
causingdeathorseriousinjury.
 Thepositioningbeltshouldhaveasnugfit;tightenoughtoholdtheirposi‐
tion,butnotsotightastorestrictbreathing.Youshouldbeabletoslide
yourhandbetweenthepositioningbeltandtheuser.

F.CenterofGravityAdjustment(Fig.4)
ThemostimportantadjustmentonyourRoguewheelchairisthepositionofthe
rearaxle.
Youcanadjustyourcenterofgravitybymovingthetwocambermountclamps
(A)forwardorrearwardontheseattube(B).
Movingthecambermountclampsforwardshortensthewheelbaseandlightens
thefrontend,makingyourchairmoremaneuverable.Movingthecamber
mountsrearwardmakesthechairmorestableandlesslikelytotipover
rearward.
NOTE–Changestothecenterofgravitymayaffecttherearseatheight
(SectionJ),toe‐in/toe‐outoftherearwheels(SectionI.)andthesquareness
ofthecasters(SectionL).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

Toadjustthecenterofgravitylocation(Fig.5):
a)Removebothrearwheels.
b)Loosenthe2screws(C)andnutsthatsecurethecambermounts(A

2.AdjustingAxles(Fig.16)
a)Toadjusttheaxleyouwillneeda19mm

securelyholdtheballdetentendoftheaxletopreventitfromturning.
b)Ifthewheelandaxlewillnotlockintothecamberplugthentheaxle
requiresadjustment.Turnthenutcounter‐clockwiseapproximately1/4
revolutionandtrytolocktheaxleintothecamberplug.Ifitdoesn'tlock,
continuemakingsmallnutadjustmentsuntilitsecurelylocks.
c)Ifthewheelislockedonthechairbutthereisexcessivewheelplay(the
