SERVICE MANUAL
In several cases, the distance between the tyre and the frame can be such
as to make need moving the knurled rod P more external.
When originally assembling the wheelchair, such possible modification is
already taken into account.
In case of a post-sale modification that results in the rear wheels being
more external (from 0° to 2° or 4° camber; seat width enlargement; a dif-
ferent wheel), the brake may not work efficiently anymore, therefore, you
will have to move the knurled rod. The brake is efficient if the knurled rod P
is at least 5 mm beyond the tyre's mid-line.
In all cases, check the brake efficiency.
Remove the bolt B. In order to remove it, put the knurled rod in a vice and heat it with a hot air blower because the bolt is locked with strong
lock thread glue. DO NOT FORCE WHEN UNSCREWING IT, you may damage the bolt's head irremediably.
Once you have removed the bolt, the knurled rod comes off, too. Replace the bolt B according to the spacer C (7 or 11 mm) you will add.
Put some strong lock thread glue on the bolt B and assemble the spacer C and the knurled rod A.
Put the knurled rod in a vice and tighten the bolt B hard.
