How To Set-Up Your FreeWheel
This Set-Up Guide provides easy to follow, step-by-step, directions to setting up your
FreeWheel to fit your wheelchair. (Note: start on page 5 if you have a clamp plate
footrest or a TiLite Angle Adjustable footrest.):
1. Determine whether you need a cup shim? (page 1)
2. Does it need a straight shim and if yes, what thickness? (page 2)
3. Adjusting the angle based on how high your footrest is from the floor and whether
it is angled. This adjustment is to make sure the FreeWheel properly lifts the front
casters off the ground. (page 3)
4. Should you use a short or long rear end? (page 4)
Once your FreeWheel is set up, it is important to maintain it so it provides you with
years of enjoyment. (page 9)
