Footplate Adjustment; Castor; Seat - Sunrise Medical Quickie Argon Directions For Use Manual

Options – Footplate Adjustment
Divided and Platform Footplates
Footplates can be flipped up to
facilitate getting in and getting
out of your wheelchair.
They can also be tilted to six diffe-
rent angles relative to a level surfa-
ce. Tighten screw (1) firmly on the
outer side. By removing the clips
(2), the footplate can be adjusted
to three different positions toward
both the front and rear. Loosen the
adjustment screw (3) to change the
horizontal position of the footplate.
For this purpose, the footplate
must be flipped up. When finished,
make sure that all screws have
been properly tightened (see the
page on torque). A minimum inter-
val of 2.5 centimeters from the gro-
und should always be maintained.
Adjusting the Footrest
Removing screw (1) will allow you
to adjust the footrest to corre-
spond to the length of your lower
leg. The angle of the footrest may
be individually adjusted (not rigid
footrest) by loosening nuts (2). The
footrest bracket (3) prevents feet
from unintentionally slipping out
place. When finished, make sure
that all screws have been properly
tightened (see the page on torque).
Options – Castor
Castors, Castor Plates, Forks
From time to time the wheelchair may veer slightly
to the right or left, or the castors may flutter. This
may be caused by the following:
• Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not
been set properly.
• The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
• Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect;
wheels do not turn smoothly.
The wheelchair will not move in a straight line if the
castors have not been properly adjusted. Castors
should always be adjusted by an authorized dealer.
The castor plates must be readjusted, and the
wheel locks must be checked any time the rear
wheel position has been altered.

Adjusting the seat height
To adjust rear seat height, slacken
and remove the 4 Torx screws (1)
(2 each side) and the thread was-
her (2), which secures the clamp
(3) for the camber tubes to the axle
plates (4). Adjust the two camber
tube clamps (3) to the required
height and replace the 4 Torx scr-
ews. Before tightening the screws,
please follow the instructions for
setting the toe-in/toe-out to zero
(section 7.61.1). Tighten the screws to 7 Nm.
NOTE – An adjustment to the castor angle may
be necessary when adjusting the rear seat
height.
Options – Castor
Adjusting the castor
To ensure that both forks are set parallel,
simply count the teeth visible on both sides.
After setting the castor fork, the teeth will
guarantee a secure position, allowing an
adjustment of 16° in 2° increments.
Use the flat side to check for a right-angled
position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor fork to
be turned, so that it can be reset at right-
angles to the ground when the seat angle is
changed.
