V. ADJUSTMENTS V. ADJUSTMENTS
A. REAR AXLES - CENTER OF
BALANCE
1. Notes
a. The position of the rider’s weight relative
to where you set the rear axles
determines the center of balance.
These are the most important
adjustments on your chair.
b. You can adjust the center of balance by
moving the rear axles forward or back in
the axle plate. On the Zippie GS and the
Quickie IRIS, the axle plate itself moves
forward or back on the side frame to
adjust the center of balance (Fig 11b).
2. Reasons to Adjust
a. Moving the rear axles FORWARD in the
axle plate will lighten the force needed
to turn the chair.
b. Moving the rear axles BACK in the axle
plate makes the chair more stable.
c. Moving the Zippie GS or the Quickie IRIS
axle plate forward lightens the force necessary for turning, while moving it back
stabilizes the chair.
Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to
find the best rear axle setup for your chair.
Do not change the setup UNLESS you are
sure you are not at risk to tip over.
3. Forward or Rearward Axle Adjustment
(Figs. 11, 11a & 11b)
The center of gravity is adjusted by moving
the rear axle forward or backward to the
additional bearing position (preset with bearings at the factory). For additional
forward adjustments, the axle plate may be
moved forward by inverting the axle plate
and thus giving two additional positions.
Fig. 11 Quickie & Zippie 2
Fig. 11a Quickie & Zippie 2
Fig. 11b Zippie GS
Always adjust rear wheel locks after you
make any change to the axle position.
Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least
1/8 inch when locked. If you fail to do so,
the locks may not keep the rear wheels
from rolling. Refer to User Instruction
Manual for directions.
B. REAR AXLES - SEAT HEIGHT
1. Seat Height - Quickie 2 and
Zippie 2 Only (Fig. 12)
Seat height can be adjusted by moving the
axle plate vertically in the predrilled frame
holes. This allows a 2 1/2” seat height
adjustment. Refer to User Instruction
Manual for directions.
2. Seat Height - Zippie GS Only
(Fig. 12a)
On the Zippie GS, adjust seat height by
moving the rear axle sleeve up or down
in the axle plate. 1.25" adjustment possible
(Fig 12a).
NOTE: Only 20", 22" and 24" wheels available with
one-arm drive.
If you raise the seat too high, you may “outadjust” the caster forks. If this occurs, the
seat will tilt toward the front, and may
cause the rider to fall. To avoid this, you
will need to use a longer caster fork or
fork stem. Refer to User Instruction
Manual for directions.
3. Seat Height - Breezy Series Only
(Fig. 13)
Seat height can be adjusted by inverting the
axle block. This allows a 1” seat
height adjustment.

4. Quickie TS (Fig. 14)
Quickie IRIS (Fig. 15)
a. The center of gravity is adjusted by
moving the rear axle forward or backward to the additional holes located
along the frame.
b. Rotating the entire axle brackets allows
the user to use different wheel sizes
and often different seat heights.
C. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
OF DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
1. Installation (Fig. 16 & 16a)
a. Compress, twist and lock the drive shaft
assembly.
b. Insert one end of the drive shaft assem-
bly into one of the axle tabs.
c. Unlock the drive shaft assembly and
insert it into the opposite axle tab.
2. Removal
a. Compress, twist and lock the drive shaft
assembly.
b. Remove one end of the drive shaft
assembly from one of the axle tabs.
c. Remove the drive shaft assembly from
the opposite axle tab.
d. Unlock the drive shaft assembly and
store it in the drive shaft mounting
brackets.
D. STORAGE OF DRIVE SHAFT
ASSEMBLY
a. Drive shaft mounting (storage) brackets
are mounted on the lower front frame
and lower rear frame or on opposite
ends of a crossbrace.
NOTE: On Zippie GS, drive shaft assembly may be
stored on lower frame only.
b. The drive shaft assembly may be placed
in these brackets and stored
for easy access.
E. REVERSING ONE-ARM DRIVE
MOUNTING SIDES
a The one-arm drive may be mounted on
either side of the chair.
b Follow one-arm drive assembly instruc-
tions in reverse order to disassemble.
c. To remount on opposite side follow
one-arm drive assembly instructions.
F. USE OF ONE-ARM DRIVE
Keep hand clear of center of the wheel or
spokes when propelling the one-arm drive.
This may cause a pinch or crush-type injury.
1. One-Arm Drive Operation
a. To propel both wheels forward, push
both the outer and inner handrim on
the side the one arm drive is mounted.
b. If the outer handrim is mounted on the
right, push the outer handrim to turn
the chair to the right. (Reverse this
instruction if the outer handrim is
mounted on the left.)
c. If the outer handrim is on the right, push
the inner handrim only to turn the chair
to the left. (Reverse this instruction if the
outer handrim is mounted on the right.)
