7.3 Transit wheels

(fig 74)
Exelle Vario
42
This accessory is necessary when the width of the wheelchair
makes it impossible to pass through narrow gaps (see chapter
5.5
Rapid removal of rear wheels ).
By using this accessory the wheelchair is rendered both narrower
and shorter.
The transit wheels can also be removed from their support by
pressing the release button A which locks them into position and
by sliding the tube out from the support.
For correct mounting of the transit wheels in their support,
release button A must always be facing toward the inside of the
frame.
It must be remembered that while using the transit
wheels with the rear wheels removed, the parking
brakes will not work.

7.4 Anti-tip wheels

(figure 75)
This accessory has been designed to prevent the wheelchair
from tipping back. In order to ensure that it functions correctly it
should be adjusted to a distance of 2-3 cm from the ground.
The adjustment of the height is carried out by pressing the release
button D and moving the tube up or down to the desired position.
For correct mounting of the anti-tip wheels it must be remembered
that when inserting them into the support, the release button D
must always face toward the inside of the frame.
