You will need to adjust your chair from time to time for best performance (especially if you
alter the original settings). This chart gives you a first solution, then a second and a third
if needed. You may need to look farther to find the best solution for a specific problem.
NOTE– To keep track of your progress, make only ONE change at a time.

both rear tires and front caster tires, if pneumatic.
