WHEELS

3.1.1 Quick release axle wheels

All of our driving wheels are equipped with quick
release axles for fast removal.
To release or apply the quick release axle
• (1) push the lock button (A) in the middle of
the wheel nub and release it after the action.
• (2) After applying, the lock ball (A) must be
completely in sight at the end of the quick
release axle. The wheels should not be able to
be removed.
Be sure to regard the following points:
• Wheels are turning parts and can cause
injuries to fingers.
• After fastening the wheels, check the secure
hold of the quick release axle.
• (2) Check the small lock ball (tension spring)
(A) at the end of the quick release axle to be
sure it functions properly.
• Check the air pressure of the rear wheels
regularly, in order to ensure the functionality
of the brakes!

3.1.2 Drum brake wheels

To apply or remove please proceed as described above.
ATTENTION
The drum brake wheels' brake pads are extremely
sensitive and can lose their functionality from
dirt or scratches on the brake pads. Remove lint
and dirt from the brake pads regularly with a soft
brush. Check the functionality of the Bowden cables
regularly, in short intervals.
To brake while driving
• (3) the attendant pushes equally on both brake
levers (A).
ATTENTION
Uneven pressure causes swerving.
To lock the wheelchair
• (4) pull both levers (A) up and snap the small
locking levers (B) in the groove (C). The drum
brakes are no locked.
To unlock

order to unlock the locking levers (B).
