COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS

After becoming familiar with your wheelchair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase

your comfort, such as drive wheel position, seatback depth, anti-tip wheels position, seatback angle and height, swing-

away footrest length, elevating leg rest length and angle, calf pad height and depth, angle adjustable foot plate angle and

depth, armrest height and angle, seat angle, caster angle, positioning belt, wheel lock position, and seat tension.

WARNING! The center of gravity of your wheelchair was factory set to a position that meets the

needs of the demographic majority of users. Your Quantum Rehab Provider has evaluated your

wheelchair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not

change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your

Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING! Some wheelchair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry

them. Please refer to “Appendix I - Specifications” for specific component weights before you

disassemble the wheelchair.

WARNING! Remove the occupant from the wheelchair before making any adjustments.

NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the

disassembly or adjustment of the wheelchair must be

replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should

not be reused as it may cause damage to the nylon

insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement

nylon insert lock nuts are available at local hardware

stores or through your Quantum Rehab Provider.

Drive Wheel Adjustments

Each drive wheel is attached to the frame by an axle

bracket. The location of the drive wheel center bolt and

nut on the axle bracket determines the drive wheel

position. The location of the axle bracket on the

wheelchair frame determines the drive wheel height

and can affect performance and center of gravity.

WARNING! The more forward that you

adjust your drive wheel, the more

likely your wheelchair will tip over

backward. Always make adjustments

in small increments, and check the

stability of your wheelchair with a

Quantum Rehab Provider or with a

spotter to prevent a tip over. We

recommend that you use anti-tip tubes

until you adapt to the change and are

sure that you are not at risk to tip over.
