Removal of the rear wheel

You can remove your rear wheels using the quick release system in the following way: -

Tilt your wheelchair slightly so the wheel you wish to remove is slightly off the ground, see figure....

Press the black button in the centre on the wheel and remove the axle and wheel from the frame. Make

sure the black button is completely pressed in otherwise the ball bearing safety system that stops the

wheel from being removed at the opposite side of the axle will do exactly that.

To put the rear wheel back in place you must reverse the above steps. In order to ensure your safety please

make sure the axle is fully in place and the ball bearing system is engaged so the wheel does not come

loose during use.
