Options – Axle Plates

Axle Plates

(7.50)
The position of the body's center
of gravity with respect to the rear
wheels is critical for ensuring easy
and pleasant use of the
wheelchair. Several positions are
possible: moving the axle plate (1)
backwards along the holes drilled
in the frame (2) will make the chair
more stable, but it will not be as
maneuverable as it would be if the
axle plate were positioned farther
to the front. You may adjust the
seat height by moving the axle sleeve (3) in the axle
plate. When finished, make sure that all screws
have been properly tightened (see the page on tor-
que).
CAUTION:
It may be necessary to readjust both the wheel
locks and casters.
Options – Cambers

Cambers

(7.51)
The camber may be set between
1° and 4°. This makes it possible
to increase the chair's lateral stabi-
lity as well as its maneuverability.
Remove the axle plate screws (1).
Adjust the adapter (2) to the desi-
red angle. Tighten the screws. (see
the page on torque). Raising the
camber also raises the overall
width of the wheelchair (by about 1
cm per degree).
CAUTION:
It may be necessary to readjust
both the wheel locks and

casters.

(7.55)
The larger the wheel base is, the
greater is the stability of the
wheelchair. The wheel base can be
extended by screwing the axle
sleeve (1) onto the frame at the
desired height. Make sure that the
steel pin (2) is mounted correctly in
the hole drilled in the frame for this
purpose. When finished, make
sure that all screws have been pro-
perly tightened (see the page on
torque).
CAUTION:
Wheel locks must be adjusted
for the new position.

Options – Backrests
Angle-Adjustable Backrests
(7.70)
The backrest can be adjusted to 5
different positions (3° forwards, 0°,
5°, 10°, and 15° backwards). A
plate (2) is located on the sidegu-
ard, allowing you to set the angle
by removing the screws (1) (see
the page on torque).
CAUTION: The screws (1)
connect the backrest directly to
the frame; screwing them in too
tightly may cause them to break.
Conversely, screws that are too loose can be
easily lost. In either case, injuries could result
when using the push handles to ascend stairs.
For your own safety, we recommend that adjust-
ments only be made by authorized dealers.
Variable Angle-Adjustable
Backrests (7.71)
You can adjust the angle of the
backrest to meet your individual
needs by pulling on the cord (1).
The mechanism automatically
snaps into place when you release
the cord.
Adjustable Backrest Upholstery
(7.72)
The sling can be adapted to any
degree of tension by adjusting the
Velcro fasteners. The padding in
the backrest can be removed
through an interior opening, allo-
wing you to cushion the backrest
according to your individual needs.
Options – Sideguards
Desk Sideguard, Flip-Up,
Detachable with Short or Long
Armrests, Height-Adjustable
(7.81)
Adjust the height of the armrest as
follows: Slide the knob (1) forward
until it stops. Adjust the armrest (2)
to the desired height. Slide the
knob toward the back and push
the armrest (2) down until you can
hear it click into place. Always
make sure that the sideguards
have locked into place properly. To
flip the armrest up, lift the handle
(3) to unlock the sideguard.
CAUTION:
Neither the sideguards nor the
armrests are to be used for lif-
ting or carrying the wheelchair.
