Requirements:
● Phillips screwdriver size 2

the front castor.
● If necessary, remove the Philips screw (1) and the cover cap (2).
● Get help of a second person to tilt the mobility aid to the rear.
● Rotate the wheel forks (5) upwards.
● Let go of the wheel forks so that they can swing downwards again.
● Adjust the nut (4) with a 5/8" socket spanner so that the wheel forks are not too loose but can
still rotate freely.
The wheel forks should oscillate to the opposite side a maximum of once and then come to
rest facing downwards.
● Place the mobility aid on all four wheels again.
● Test the mobility aid's manoeuvrability.
