Adjusting the Wheel Camber

(does not apply to XXL 2 and Ti Ultra, since with the XXL 2 and Ti Ultra only 0° is possible)
The modular system of the Avantgarde offers a rear wheel adapter that can be used to set the
rear wheels at different camber angles (0°, 2° and 4°). The larger the negative camber of the
rear wheels is, the more responsive and maneuverable the wheelchair becomes. The wheel
camber provided by the rear wheel adapter is 2°. Deviations from this adjustment (0°, 4°) can
be attained by turning the mounted special 2° tapered camber washers.

Adjusting 0° Rear Wheel Camber
Position the tapered washer on the outer side of the rear wheel adapter with the thicker side
up in the desired locking position (from the outer side you can read the engraving »-2°«). Place
the second tapered washer on the inner side of the rear wheel adapter with the thinner side up
in the corresponding locking position (from the inner side you can read the engraving »+2°«).
The outer sides of the two camber washers are parallel now (see sketch). Insert the rear wheel
fitting, put on the lock washer from the inner side and slightly tighten the hexagon nuts (Fig. 8,
items A, C). Check the distance between rear wheel and side panel and adjust by turning the
fitting. Finally tighten the hexagon nuts with a torque of 0 Nm.
