F.CenterofGravityAdjustment(Fig.4)

ThemostimportantadjustmentonyourRoguewheelchairisthepositionofthe

rearaxle.

Youcanadjustyourcenterofgravitybymovingthetwocambermountclamps

(A)forwardorrearwardontheseattube(B).

Movingthecambermountclampsforwardshortensthewheelbaseandlightens

thefrontend,makingyourchairmoremaneuverable.Movingthecamber

mountsrearwardmakesthechairmorestableandlesslikelytotipover

rearward.

NOTE–Changestothecenterofgravitymayaffecttherearseatheight

(SectionJ),toe‐in/toe‐outoftherearwheels(SectionI.)andthesquareness

ofthecasters(SectionL).Ifyouchangeyourcenterofgravityposition,re‐

adjustallofthesesettingsifnecessary.

NOTE–Adjustingyourchair’scenterofgravitywillrequirere‐adjustingthe

locationofthewheellocks(ifprovided).SeeSectionSforinstructionson
