Replacing a drive wheel

CAUTION! Danger of the wheelchair tipping over or rolling away!
• Secure the wheelchair from tipping over by propping it up with a wooden block under the
battery box that is long and wide enough! Using a wooden block that is too short or too high
could cause the wheelchair to tip over!
• Switch the wheelchair off at the remote!
CAUTION! Injury hazard! If the wheel has been insufficiently tightened during assembly, it
may become loosen during driving!
• When reassembling the drive wheels, tighten the TORX screws to a torque of 35 Nm!
• Secure all screws using a suitable threadlocker!
Requirements:
• TORX screwdriver TX40
Note
Pay attention to small pieces, and the order in which the components are disassembled. Arrange
them in an orderly fashion so they can easily be assembled again in the right order.
•
Prop up the wheelchair by lifting it up on the
side that you want to work on and then
placing the wooden block underneath the
battery box on that side.
•
Unscrew the 4 screws that hold the wheel (1), using
the TORX screwdriver TX40.
•
Remove the wheel from the hub.
• Reassembly is done in reverse order.
