Active rear wheel fixation with drumbrake
By changing the position of the rearwheel on the rear-
wheel attachment you can alter both the 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.
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.
Always remember to adjust the brakes, when
the rearwheel position is changed.
2. To move the rearwheel (either backwards or for-
wards) on the rearwheel attachment, first remove
the screw (B), and nut (C), adjust to the required
position and then fasten the screw and nut.
The tip risk increases if the rearwheels are
located in front of the backrest. Use anti-tip
devices.
Always remember to adjust the brakes, when
the rearwheel position is 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. This is important for your
own safety!
1. Applying the brakes when moving
Pull both brake handles upwards (squeeze the
handles) and the brake will be applied.
2. Locking the brakes
Pull the brake handle upwards and move the lock
catch (A) upwards. Then release the handle.
3. Releasing the brake
Pull the handle upwards and the lock catch will
release automatically.
Incorrect adjustments or use of the brakes can
reduce their performance.
