By changing the position of the rearwheel on the
rearwheel attachment you can alter both the rear
seat height and the manoeuvrability/stability of the
wheelchair. The further forward the rearwheel
is positioned, the more manoeuvrable your chair
becomes, but with reduced stability. For seatheights
and positions, please refer to the seat height tables
starting on page 24.
1. To alter the height position of the rearwheel plate,
use an Allen key to hold the screws (A) in place
and loosen nuts (B) with a fixed spanner. Choose
the new position and fasten the screws.
2. To move the rearwheel (either backwards or for-
wards) on the rearwheel attachment, first remove
the nut (C), adjust the axle housing (D) to the
required position and then refasten the nut.
The tip risk increases if the rear wheels are
located in front of the backrest. Use anti-tip
devices.
Always remember to adjust the brakes, when
the rearwheel position has been changed.
When you have fitted the wheels in the cor-
rect position, it is important that you check
thoroughly that the nuts and screws are
tightened securely. The axle housing should
be tightened with a manual and dynamometric
wrench calibrated to 40Nm. This is important
for your own safety!
The cambered rearwheel plate is mounted and
adjusted in the same way as the original rearwheel
plate, see above.
1. Make sure that the rib (A) on the rearwheel plate
and the chamfer (B) on the camber block is placed
downwards.
