SECTION 7—WHEELS
Recumbent Handcycle Series 44 Part No 1114850
Determining/Adjusting Toe In/Toe Out
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.3.
Determining Toe In/Toe Out
1. Inflate all pneumatic tires to recommended tire pressures (listed on the sidewall of the
tire).
2. Measure the distance between the
center lines at the rear and front of the
rear wheels at approximately 12 inches
from the ground/floor.
NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP
2 with the handcycle occupied.
NOTE: Step 2 may be performed with using
alignment gauge (available as an option for the
handcycle). Refer to Using the Alignment
Gauge on page 74.
3. Determine the difference between the
two measurements. If the difference
between the two measurements is
greater than 1/8‐inch (for maximum
rollability), one of two conditions exists:
• If the back centerline measurement
of the rear wheels is smaller than
the front centerline measurement of
the rear wheels, a toe‐out condition
exists.
• If the back centerline measurement
of the rear wheels is LARGER than
the front centerline measurement of
the rear wheels, a toe‐in condition
exists.
4. If the difference between the
measurements is greater than 1/8‐inch,
correct the toe‐in/toe‐out condition.
Refer to Adjusting Toe In/Toe Out on
page 45.
