Castors; Castor Adapter; Backrests - Sunrise Medical Breezy BasiX Directions For Use Manual

Options - Castors
Castors, Castor plates, Forks
The wheelchair may veer slightly to the right or left, or the castors
may wobble. This may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been set correctly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels do
not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the castors have not
been properly adjusted. Castors should always be adjusted by an
authorised dealer. The castor plates must be readjusted, and the
wheel locks must be checked every time the rear wheel position has
been altered.
Options – Castor adapter
Seat height and seat angle adjustments:
The seat height and seat angle are
determined by the castor and and rear
wheel position.
The seat height can be adjusted by
using different sizes of rear wheels and
by altering the position of the rear
wheels and the castors and by using
spacers (Fig.17).
CAUTION:
After adjusting the seat height/seat angle, all
screws must be re-tightened.
Note:
You can change the angle of the castor axle by
altering the position of the castor/rear wheel.
This should always be approx. 90°.
Adjusting the castor axle angle:
Release the screws (1), pull the castor adaptor outwards, set a 90°
angle and then re-tighten the screws (Fig. 19).
Note:
The castor axle angle must be set the same on
both sides (check by marking).
Horizontal axle position
The axle plate can be adjusted
forwards to give greater
manoeuvrability or to the rear to
give greater stability (Fig. 20).

Position of the axle adapter (7.51.1.2)
The axle adapter can be fitted
in front of the back tube for better
drive characteristics or behind it for
greater security against
tipping over.
The larger the wheelbase
the greater security against your
wheelchair tipping over.
To increase the length of the wheelbase turn the axle adapter
(1)
to the back.
CAUTION!
Wheel locks must be adjusted to match the new position!
Options - Backrest
Height-adjustable backrest
The height of the backrest can be
set to 2 or 3 different positions
(depending on the model) (41 cm,
43.5 cm and 46 cm). Release and
remove the bolts (1)+(2), and push
the backrest tube to the desired
position. Tighten up the bolts again
(Fig. 21).
Adjustable backrest angle
The angle of the backrest can be set
to 6 different positions (-5° forwards,
0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and 20° backwards).
To adjust the angle, remove the
screw (1), set the desired angle and
then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 22).
Adjustable backrest angle
(7° - 30°)
By pulling both levers together (1), you can release the backrest and
then move it to the desired position.
On releasing the two levers (1) the backrest will automatically lock
into place (Fig. 23).
CAUTION:
The angle-adjustable bckrest can
only be used in conjunction with
the wheelbase extension.
CAUTION:
It is recommended that the angle-
adjustable backrest is used in
conjunction with anti-tip tubes
(maximum ground clearance 3 - 5
cm).
CAUTION:
We recommend that the angle-adjustable backrest is used in
conjunction with a stabilising bar.
