Loosen the
Lockdown Nut
and slide the right lever assembly as far as possible
into the axle sleeve just as you would with your original quick-release wheels.
Rotate the lever assembly through the
normal operating range to determine if it
interferes with any part of the wheelchair
(i.e., clothes guard, armrest). If there is
interference, determine if the part can be
modified, replaced, or removed.
If the obstruction cannot be removed, rotate
the
Clamp Attachment Arm
as many times
as necessary until there is approximately ¼
inch (6mm) clearance between the lever and
the obstruction and insert it completely on
the pin of the
Clamp
. To release the clamp ‘s
latch, pull the latch away from you. Tighten
the
Lockdown Nut
.
At least 1” (25mm) of the axle
must be in the axle sleeve.
Check the Clamp to assure that the position
is still correct (vertical). Tighten the
Clamp
Screws
on both sides of the Clamp using the
4 mm Allen wrench until snug (approximate
tightness of 5 ft-lbs (6.8 N-m). This is
approximately a force of 10 lbs at 6 inches
away from the screw (45 N at 15 cm away
from the screw). Do not overtighten.
Install the left lever in the same manner.
