Wheel Base

Fig. 25

Caution. Danger of tipping! If you adjust the
!
driving wheel forwards or the backrest
backwards, the danger of tipping is
increased significantly. Anti-tilt rollers or an
extended wheelbase are then necessary.
Check the settings first with a helper. Only
use settings that you feel safe with.
The stability of the wheelchair is improved
by lengthening the wheel base. On the other
hand, shortening the wheel base improves
manoeuvrability. A shortening of the wheelbase is
only recommended for practised wheelchair users.
To set the wheelbase, loosen the four fastening
screws that secure the wheel attachment. The
wheelbase can be adjusted in four stages. Fasten
the wheel attachment afterwards in the cut-outs
provided. Ensure that all four screws are securely
tightened. To increase the wheelbase, a wheelbase
extension can also be used.
When changing the wheel base, a
!
subsequent adjustment of the knee lever
brake is also absolutely necessary!
