Warning!
Due to the weight the power assist wheel
might require eff ort to mount. If you do not
feel secure mounting the wheel, due to the
weight of the wheel, ask an attendant to
mount the wheel.
Never pull at the Drive rim to take off the
wheel. (fi gure 13 and 14)
Never use the Drive rim for carrying the
power assist in any way – this can damage
the Drive rim.
Do not use the Drive rim, but only the tire or
the Assist rim for mounting and dismounting
a wheel.
The power assist wheels must never be
removed, when a person is sitting in the
wheelchair.
Mounting a wheel (fi gure 15)
To mount a wheel, the wheel handle has to be
pulled upwards, in the open position.
1. Position the axle in the hole of the adapter
sleeve on your wheelchair, and unlock the
axle by pushing the unlock button just above
the handle with your thumb, and release the
button again. The cone-shaped supports
will guide the wheel into the right position.
Check if the wheels cannot be pushed
further into the bus on your wheelchair,
then check by pulling at the handle without
pushing the unlock button that you cannot
pull back the wheel anymore.
2. Push the wheel handle down vertically.
3. Then turn the handle downwards.
