  • Page 2: Intended Use

    For Panthera wheelchairs no hacksaw is needed. Intended use Freewheel is an accessory for manual wheelchairs designed to be mounted on the footrest to improve ac- cessibility for the wheelchair in everyday situations, on a base such as sand, snow, grass, etc.
  • Page 3 Panthera instructions Freewheel can be mounted on Panthera wheelchairs; S2, S3, U2, U3, U2 light, U3 light, Panthera X. NOTE! Reinforced footrest must be used to ensure sustainability. In the mounting hardware (image) are all the details included to mount FreeWheel on your wheelchair.
  • Page 4 Should you use a short or long rear end? (page 6) Adjusting the angle based on how high your footrest is from the floor and whether it is ang led. This adjustment is to make sure the FreeWheel properly lifts the front casters off the ground (page 7) STEP 1: Cup Shim (FreeWheel comes with cup shim installed.)
  • Page 5 STEP 2: Which Straight Shim? There are 4 separate straight shims with your FreeWheel package. Your foot rest type determines which shim to use, or whether you do NOT need a shim. For Pantera wheelchairs use the included thick shim (cut to 105 mm).
  • Page 6 2. Using a hack saw cut your straight shim the same length as the footrest depth. (Allready precut to 105 mm for Panthera) 3. Clamp FreeWheel on to footrest. If the footrest sag when clamping the FeeWheel it´s set too tight.

    STEP 4: Angle Adjustment This adjustment is to make sure the FreeWheel properly lifts the front casters off the ground. The adjust- ment is based on the height of your wheelchair’s footrest from the ground. Make sure you have comple- ted the Set-up Guide STEPS 1 through 3, BEFORE you complete this step.
  • Page 8 Perch Set-up Guide (does not fit Panthera X) Now that you have your FreeWheel adjusted for your specific footrest type and chair, you’ll want to install the Storage Perch on the crossbar on the back of your chair. Chose the perch post that matches your footrest set-up to make sure you pick the right combination so your FreeWheel securely clamps to your storage Perch.
  • Page 9 How to Adjust for Steering If your Freewheel is not tracking straight when coasting forward on level ground, the steering should be adjusted. To do this you need to adjust two separate fasteners: Front Set Screw, and Main Steering Stem Bolt 1.
