Adjustment Of Front Wheel Height And Fork Angle - progeo Exelle User Manual

Adjustment of the rear wheels can cause a change
to the angle of the seat.
extremely important to adjust the front wheel
support by following the instructions in chapter 6.5
Adjustment of front wheels .
In general terms adjustment of the axle position
will cause a variation to the stability of the
wheelchair. If the axle is moved forward the
stability will become Active
will tip back more easily. Moving the axle further
back will give the wheelchair a more Cautious
stability and the wheelchair will be more difficult to tip
back. With stability set in the Active position the
wheelchair will tip over more easily. When used in
this setting we therefore recommend that an
appropriate anti-tip system is fitted (see chapter 7.4
Anti-tip wheels )
Carry out the same adjustment for the left and
right wheels.
After adjustment, carefully replace all screws and
nuts and tighten.
6.5 Adjustment of the height of the front wheels
and fork angle
(figure 46-47)
The front wheels can be adjusted in a number of different ways
as follows:
Horizontal adjustment (figure 46): This adjustment is strictly
related to the relationship between the front wheels and the
position of the footrests. It is possible that certain combinations
(e.g. a front wheel of 7 dimension and a one-piece footrest
adjusted fully internally) may cause the front wheels to touch the
footrest when turning the wheelchair.
If this occurs it is
and the wheel chair
In order to avoid this problem, the front frame has four
pre-drilled holes F which allows the adjustment to be made,
to increase or decrease the distance between the front wheels
and the footrest.
