2.2 Frame
2.2.1 Sides
The sides or side frames are designed to accommodate the
steering tubes for the castors and multiple adjustment wheel
mounting for rear wheels.
These wheel mountings allow five height positions and three
longitudinal positions (Active = advanced for better handling ;
Standard = serial delivery; Amputee = backward for better stabi-
lity, serial with reclining backrest).
2.2.2 Folding system
It consists of two cross-bars which integrate the seat rails.
To fold and unfold your wheelchair, see chapter A " General "
paragraph 2.1.
2.2.3 Steering tubes
They provide seat dump (0°, 3° or 6°) based upon user's capacity,
propulsion, desired floor-to-seat height and selected front and
rear wheels.
 All these adjustments and changes of position must be per-
formed by a professional technician upon agreement by your
prescribing physician. Please consult with your dealer.
!
In "Active" position, the manual brake may unlock after
swinging the footrest support out.
In this particular case, we recommend to swing the footrest
support inside !
Active position is only compatible with 6'' front castors.
In "Active" position, it is necessary to use anti-tippers to avoid
any risk of tipping backwards when you drive on a slope ! (See §
2.6.3)
2.3 Rear wheels
2.3.1 Wheels
The 24" (610 mm) rear wheels are spoked or composite
wheels; the 22" (550 mm) wheels are only spoked wheels.
They can be delivered with pneumatic or solid tyre.
The 24" spoked wheels can optionally accommodate spoke
guards to prevent injuring the fingers during propulsion.
A flat tyre (photo 18) must be removed in order to be
repaired. Remove the rim assembly (tyre and inner tube),
repair or replace the inner tube, reinsert in the tyre and
reposition the assembly on the rim.
