G. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
Ridi g o a slope, which i cludes a ramp or side hill, will cha ge the ce ter of
bala ce of your chair. Your chair is less stable whe it is at a a gle. A ti-tip tubes
may ot preve t a fall or tip-over.
1. Do ot use your chair o a slope steeper tha 10%. (A 10% slope mea s: o e
foot i elevatio for every te feet of slope le gth.)
2. Always go as straight up a d as straight dow as you ca . (Do ot “cut the cor-
er” o a slope or ramp.)
3. Do ot tur or cha ge directio o a slope.
4. Always stay i the CENTER of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide e ough that you
are ot at risk that a wheel may fall over the edge.
5. Do ot stop o a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose co trol of your chair.
6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair. This is likely
to cause your chair to veer out of co trol.
7. Beware Of:
a. Wet or slippery surfaces.
b. A cha ge i grade o a slope (or a lip, bump or depressio ). These may
cause a fall or tip-over.
c. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. A drop-off of as small as 3/4 i ch ca
stop a fro t caster a d cause the chair to tip forward.
8. To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
a. Lea or press your body UPHILL. This will help adjust for the cha ge i the
ce ter of bala ce caused by the slope or side hill.
b. Keep pressure o the ha drims to co trol your speed o a dow slope.
If you go too fast you may lose co trol.
c. Ask for help a y time you are i doubt.
9. Ramps At Home & Work - For your safety, ramps at home a d work must meet all
legal requireme ts for your area. We recomme d:
a. Width. At least four feet wide.
b. Guardrails. To reduce the risk of a fall, sides of ramp must have guardrails (or
raised borders at least three i ches high).
c. Slope. Not more tha a 10% grade.
d. Surface. Flat a d eve , with a thi carpet or other o -skid material.
(Make sure there is o lip, bump or depressio .)
e. Braci g. Ramp must be STURDY. You may eed braci g so ramp does ot
“bow” whe you ride o it.
f. Avoid A Drop Off. You may eed a sectio at the top or bottom to smooth
out the tra sitio .
If you fail to heed these war i gs damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of co trol
may occur a d cause severe i jury to the rider or others.

best suited to your abilities.
A. LEARNING TO DO A “WHEELIE”
Follow these steps to help the rider lear to do a “wheelie”:
1. Read a d follow the war i gs for “WHEELIES.” (See p. 14)
2. Sta d at the rear of the chair. You must be able to move with the chair to
preve t a tip-over.
3. Keep your ha ds BENEATH the push ha dles, ready to catch the rider if the chair
tips back.
4. Whe you are ready, have the rider place his or her ha ds o the forward part of
the ha drims.
5. Have the rider make a quick BACKWARD moveme t of the rear wheels, quickly
followed by a hard FORWARD thrust. (This will tilt the chair up o the bala ce
poi t of the rear wheels.)
6. Have the rider make small moveme ts of the ha drims to stay i bala ce.

3. While looki g over your shoulder, carefully step back u til you are off the curb
or stair a d sta di g o the lower level.
4. Pull the chair toward you u til the rear wheels reach the edge of the curb or
step. The allow the rear wheels to slowly roll dow o to the lower level.
5. Whe the rear wheels are safely o the lower level, tilt the chair back to its bal-
a ce poi t. This will lift the fro t casters off the curb or step.
6. Keep the chair i bala ce a d take small steps backward. Tur the chair arou d

toe-i a d toe-out adjustme t (Sectio H-3). Tighte
screws to 88 i -lbs.
NOTE– Adjustme t to rear seat height may also require
caster a gle adjustme t. See Letter I.
G. CUSHION (OPTIONAL) INSTALLATION
Place cushio o seat sli g with VELCRO® side dow .
The beveled edge of the cushio should be i fro t.
Press firmly i to place.
H. REAR AXLE
The most importa t adjustme t o your Quickie wheel-
chair is the positio of the rear axle. The ce ter of
gravity a d wheel camber are determi ed by the axle
adjustme t.
1. Center of Gravity Adjustment
You ca adjust your ce ter of gravity positio by mov-
i g the two axle plates (B) forward or rearward o the
seat tube (C). Movi g the axle plates forward shorte s
the wheelbase a d lighte s the fro t e d, maki g your
chair more ma euverable. Movi g the axle plates rear-
ward makes the chair more stable a d less likely to tip
over rearward.
NOTE– Cha ges to the ce ter of gravity may affect the
rear seat height (Letter F), toe-i /toe-out of the
rear wheels (Sectio H-3) a d the square ess of
the casters (Letter I). If you cha ge your ce ter
of gravity positio , re-adjust these if ecessary.
Before adjusti g your wheelchair’s ce ter of gravity,
locate the additio al saddles supplied with the chair.
This hardware may be required depe di g o the over-
lap positio of the axle plates a d back plates.
NOTE– Setti g the wheelchair o a flat surface, such
as a workbe ch or table, helps make these pro-
cedures easier.
NOTE ON TORQUE SETTINGS– A torque setti g is the
optimum tighte i g which should be made o a particu-
lar faste er. Use proper torque setti gs where sepcified.
B. PADDED SWING-AWAY ARMRESTS (OPTIONAL)
Swi g-away armrests ca be detached or ca be swu g
away to allow lateral tra sfers. They are height
adjustable (2") by movi g bolts (A) up or dow i
predrilled holes o armrest bracket.
Swi g-away, removable armrests are i stalled by slidi g
armrest i to receiver (B) o rear frame tubes.
C. BACKREST INSTALLATION
To i stall backrest, remove the ut, plastic saddle a d
bolt from the backrest tube. Place the backrest i the
upright positio a d rei stall i the lower plate hole
(C). Backrest bolts should be tighte ed to 35 i -lbs.
Avoid over-tighte i g as you may crush the backrest
tubi g.
D. BACK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Tur the ecce tric bolt (D) o the backrest hi ge plate
to i crease or decrease the back a gle. The adjustme t
o each side must be exactly equal.
E. SEAT SLING ADJUSTMENT
Remove the screws retai i g the left side seat sli g.

2. Wheel Camber
The wheel camber adjustme t provides greater side-to-
side stability due to the i creased width a d a gle of
the wheelbase. The wheel camber adjustme t also
allows for quicker tur i g a d greater access to the top
of the ha drims. (A)
Wheel camber is determi ed by the axle tube (B).
Tubes are available from your authorized supplier i 0º,

3. Toe-in or toe-out
Prior to adjusti g for toe-i /out follow the i structio s
of sectio H-4.
Toe-i a d Toe-out refers to how well the rear wheels of
the chair are alig ed. This will affect how well the chair
will roll. Drag or resista ce occurs whe the wheels are
ot properly alig ed. Remove the rear wheels a d
loose the 8 cap screws (C) (4 per side) that secure the
camber tube. Re-attach the rear wheels.
a. Toe-i : To elimi ate toe-i , rotate the top of the
camber tube toward the rear of the chair.
b. Toe-out: to elimi ate toe-out, rotate the top of
the camber tube toward the fro t of the chair.
A properly adjusted chair should have o toe-i or toe-
out. Measure betwee the outer edge of the wheels o
the leadi g (E) a d traili g (D) sides of the tire.
Rotate the camber tube as described above u til the
wheel-to-wheel dista ce is the same at the fro t a d
rear. Make certai that the camber tube is ce tered left
to right by measuri g the le gth of tube exte di g
beyo d the axle plate o both sides of the chair (F).
Whe the tube is ce tered these le gths should be
equal. Tighte the 8 cap screws. Tighte the screws
co curre tly to 88 i -lbs. Pre-check for toe-i /out a d
proper ce teri g. Readjust if ecessary.

The more you move your rear wheels forward,
the more likely your chair will tip over back-
wards. Always make adjustment in small incre-
ments, and check the stability of your chair
with a spotter to prevent tip-over. We recom-
mend that you use anti-tip tubes until you
adapt to the chan e and are sure you are not at
risk to tip over. Refer to additional Warnin s in
Section VI “Falls and Tip Over”.
NOTE– Adjusti g your chair’s ce ter of gravity will
require re-adjusti g the locatio of the wheel
locks (if provided). See Letter K for i structio s
o adjusti g the wheel locks.
To adjust the ce ter of gravity locatio , remove both
rear wheels. Remove the 4 bolts (A) a d uts (B) (2
per side) that secure the axle plates to the seat tubes.
Note that for certai co figuratio s, some of these
bolts may also pass through the back plates. Remove
a y back plate bolts, uts a d saddles if they also pass
through the axle plate, or if they obstruct the positio
to which you wish to move the axle plate. Slide both
axle plates forward or rearward alo g the seat tube to
the desired positio , a d alig the holes i the seat
tube a d axle plate. The hole patter allows for 1/2"
(1.3 cm) i creme ts of adjustme t. Differe t sets of

Rei stall the bolts securi g the axle plates a d back
plates to the camber tube. I stall with shorter or lo ger
bolts a d saddles from the additio al hardware package,

able holes i the axle plate. Make certai that a saddle
