Everyday and Sport Series Wheelchairs
NOTE: The camber bar is always mounted to
the BOTTOM of the wheelchair frame.
1. Perform one of the following:
• Non‐Suspension ‐ Loosen, but DO
NOT remove the hex screw that
secures each of the top clamps to the
wheelchair frame.
• Suspension ‐ Loosen, but DO NOT
remove the two hex screws that
secure each of the top clamps to the
wheelchair frame.
2. Position the camber clamps on the
wheelchair frame at the desired
position.
• Lengthening the Wheelbase ‐ Will
increase the stability and maintain
standard maneuverability of the
wheelchair.
• Shortening the Wheelbase ‐ Will
decrease the stability, increase the
maneuverability and distribute
additional weight onto the rear
wheels.
NOTE: Wheelchair performance will be
affected if the camber clamps DO NOT sit flush
on the wheelchair frame.
3. Perform one of the following:
FIGURE 5.12 Adjusting Wheelbase Length
• Non‐Suspension ‐ Securely tighten the hex screw that secures one of the top
clamps to the wheelchair frame.
• Suspension ‐ Securely tighten the two hex screws that secure one of the top clamps
to the wheelchair frame.
NOTE: Securely tightening one hex screw at a time ensures that the camber clamps will sit flush
on the wheelchair frame.
4. Repeat STEP 3 for opposite side of the wheelchair.
NOTE: The distance between the back post and the back of the top clamp on each side of the
wheelchair can be measured as an additional check to make sure the camber clamps sit flush on the
wheelchair frame (the measurements should be the same).
5. Roll the wheelchair before using to make sure there is no excessive drag to either side.
NOTE: If drag to either side occurs, refer to Determining Toe In/Toe Out on page 42.
