M6 Locknuts (item 11) as shown. Repeat for other side of chair. If

Installation of Axle Sleeve (See Fig. 4, 5 & 6)
Note: Referring to Fig. 4, the semi-circular Axle Handle is the quick
release actuation lever used to securely install the Xtender wheels
onto the wheelchair.
To remove the wheel assemblies from the wheelchair - rotate the Axle
Handle away from the wheel (to the unlocked position) and pull the
wheel away from the chair.
To install the wheel assemblies onto the wheelchair - keep the Axle
Handle rotated to the unlocked position, slide the wheel Axle (item 7)
completely into the Axle Sleeve (item 25), and rotate the Axle Handle
flush to the wheel (to the locked position)
7) Thread one M20 Hex Nut (item 24) onto an Axle Sleeve (item 25) until
the face of the Nut is flush with end of the Sleeve. Slide this assem-
bly, with the nut located closest to the wheel, completely onto the left
wheel Xtender Axle (item 6) (left wheel is not equipped with a battery
tray). Ensure that Axle detent balls securely engage the Axle Sleeve.
Slide the left wheel/Sleeve assembly into the left Axle Bracket (item
14), engaging the Xtender's Torque Pin (item 7) into the oval slotted
Torque Pin Receiver on the Axle Bracket. The base of the Torque Pin
should be completely flush with the face of the Axle Bracket. (See fig

8) Reach between the Axle Bracket (item 14) and Xtender wheel and
rotate M20 Hex Nut (item 24) until it becomes flush on the face of the
Axle Bracket (item 14). Install M20 Flat Washer (item 10), M20
Lockwasher (item 9), and M20 Hex Nut (item 24) onto the backside of
Axle Bracket as shown. Securely tighten M20 Hex Nut from the side
with the washers. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for right side of chair.

the painted marks. NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the water-
resistant cover on the left-hand Xtender to access the receptacle.

release button oriented towards the front of the chair.

bly will change Stability Characteristics. Always use Anti-Tips or an
attendant behind the chair until the rider becomes accustomed to the
