little less grip especially over smooth and
wet surfaces.

7.15 One arm drive

This accessory allows the user to push and control
the wheelchair using only one rear wheel. In fact,
such wheel is provided with two independent hand
rims: the larger controls the wheel of that side
whereas the smaller controls, thanks to the
connection A, the opposite wheel.
When you need to fold the wheelchair, first, you
have to remove the connection bar A. To do so, pull
one the two extremities of the bar A to compress it
(there is a spring inside) until you can detach it from
the wheel's axle and remove it completely.
To put the connection bar A on, insert one of its two
extremities on the wheel's axle, then, pull the bar to
compress it as much as necessary to be able to
insert the other extremity on the other wheel's axle.
Often check the two knobs B. These should not allow play, but, at the same time, they
should allow the connection bar to compress and extend.
This condition is the ideal while driving as well as for inserting and removing the bar A.

7.16 Wheels with drum brake

This accessory allows the attendant to brake the
wheelchair even when it is moving. It can also be
use as parking brake.
It is very useful along slopes along which controlling
the wheelchair may be difficult.

OFF ROAD - These wheels are designed to
offer a better fluency and comfort along off-road
and rough surfaces. They are provided only with
Off-road tyre and aluminium hand rim.
A
You can choose this type of wheel as additional kit to the main rear wheels you choose
for the wheelchair. In this case, the wheels are interchangeable and, thus, you just have
to remove one pair and put the other on.
To brake the wheelchair, just pull up the lever A that is fixed on
each push handle.
The more you pull the more braking force on the wheel.
When you release the levers A, the brake action ends.
The drum brake can have the function of parking brake.
Pull up and keep the lever A, then, push forward the toothed
lever B (it is located in the lower side of the brake lever) and
finally leave the lever A.
Now the lever B holds the lever A and the brake keeps working.
B
To release the brake from this position, pull up the lever A just
enough to be able to release the lever B and simply leave it.
FAT WHEELS - These wheels allow the
wheelchair to be used over more difficult
surfaces. They are provided with their own tyre
and aluminium hand rim.
