Chair Measurement References
The Tsunami and Little Wave wheelchairs are capable of many adjustments to configure the chair to the
user’s needs. See the diagram below for terms that are commonly used during the process of adjusting the
chairs.

A. Seat Width (see diagram 1)
Measured from outside of frame tube on one side to the
outside of frame tube on the other side.
B. Seat Depth (see diagram 3)
Measured from front of back posts to front edge of seat sling.
Seat sling starts at beginning of bend at front of frame.
C. Sling Position (see diagram 2)
In Performance Position (0”), sling is at front of frame to keep
chair shorter and more maneuverable. The 1” or 2” seat sling
position extends the frame in front of the sling by that amount.
Adding more frame can improve stability and provide support
to aid in transfers.
D. Front Frame Bend (see diagram 3)
Angle between front seat tube and ground.
E. Footrest Taper (see diagram 1)
Indicates bend of front frame creating footrest. Taper is
measured from outside of seat frame to outside of front tube.
F. Front Seat Height (see diagram 1)
Measured from floor to top of seat tube at front of seat sling.
G. Footrest Width (see diagram 1)
Measured from inside of front tube to inside of front tube on
other side. Footrest width is listed below for each seat width
and taper.

H. Seat to Footrest Length (see diagram 3)
Measured from front edge of seat sling to top rear of
footrest. Footrest length of at least 2.5” shorter than
front seat height recommended.
I. Rear Seat Height (see diagram 3)
Measured from floor to top of seat tube at front of
back post. Rear seat height is custom to needs.
J. Center of Gravity Preset (see diagram 3)
Measured from front of back post to center of rear
axle. 0” indicates axle will be directly under back post.

Caster Mount
NOTE: The footrest tube must be removed prior to installation to allow the caster mount to slide
onto the chair frame.
1. Install the two end caps (G & I) and two bearings (J) into the caster housing (H).
2. Install the caster housing assembly into the caster mount (B) and secure with three bolts (E & F) using a
4mm Allen wrench.
3. Install the caster mount assembly onto the chair frame and secure by installing the four bolts (A, C & D)
through the caster mount and chair frame holes using a 4mm and a 5mm Allen wrench.
NOTE: There are three different sizes of the caster housing available - standard, extended and tall.
Caster housing size is dependent on caster size, front seat height and footplate selection. If
additional help is needed regarding caster housing size please contact Ki Mobility customer
service.

Caster Forks and Stems
NOTE: Different configurations achieve the desired front seat height based on caster size. If making
a change to front seat height or caster size, the combination of fork and stems could vary.
1. Install stem (A) into fork (B) with washer (C) and nut (D) using a 16mm wrench.
2. Install caster wheel (H) into fork (D) with two screws (E), a threaded barrel (F) and two spacers (G) using
two 4mm Allen wrenches.
NOTE: There are two sizes of caster stems (standard and +3/4") and three sizes of slotted forks
(short, standard and tall) and standard forks (4", 5" and 6") that can be used. The image below
shows the stems and forks. The installation process is the same for whichever stem and fork you
