Headrests; Castor; Perforated Plate; Rear Seat Height - Quickie Easy 160i Directions For Use Manual

Flip-up footrest - standard or
with length compensation
To flip up:
Pull the footrest upwards and
adjust to the desired height. When
doing this, the footrest clicks
audibly into place.
To lower:
Briefly take the load off the footrest
by lifting the lower leg and then
push the release lever. In this way you can swing the footrest
downwards. As soon as you let go of the lever, the footrest will
click back into place.
Risk of trapping fingers!
When moving the footrest up or down, do not put your
fingers in the adjusting mechanism between the frame and
the moving parts of the footrest.
ATTENTION!
The footrests are not designed to be used to lift or carry
the wheelchairs with an occupant.

Headrests

Headrests
The headrest can be raised and
moved horizontally both forwards
and backwards. To do this, loosen
the screw (1 or 2). Now you can
adjust to the desired position.
Tighten screws again (see the
page on torque).

Castor

Castor, Castor adapter, Castor fork
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:
• The forward 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 optimum adjustment of the castors is required so that the
wheelchair runs in a straight line. The castors should always be
adjusted by an authorised dealer.
The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the wheel locks
must be checked any time the rear wheel position has been
altered.
Check the setting of the castor
adapter (1) by placing a set-
square next to it and looking at it
from the front. Make sure that the
adapter is at right angles to the
floor. By undoing the screws (2)
and moving the adapter, you can
then re-adjust the wheels to their
optimum position, by adjusting the
corresponding hex nuts. Make sure that after any adjustment
work, all screws are tightened correctly (see the page on
torque).

Front seat height Easy 160
To adjust the front seat height,
please undo the screws A (2
on each side) and adjust to the
desired seat height. Make sure
that both sides are at the same
height, and then re-tighten the
screws. Please observe the Nm
torque value (see the page on
torque).

Perforated plate

Perforated plate (only Germany)
The position of the centre of
gravity in relation to the rear wheel
is an important factor for easy
and comfortable driving. Several
positions are possible. If you move
the perforated plate to the rear (1)
in the frame holes (2), the chair is
in a safe position, but at the same
time is not so manoeuvrable, as
it is when the perforated plate is
positioned further forward. By moving the axle adapter (3) in the
perforated plate, the seat height of the chair can be adjusted.
Make sure that after any adjustment work, all screws are
tightened correctly (see the page on torque).
ATTENTION!
If necessary, the brakes and castors must be re-adjusted.

Rear seat height

Rear seat height
Loosen the 4 screws (2 on each
side) and remove them from the
axle plate. Then move the axle
adapter to the desired height and
after that, re-tighten the screws.
Make sure that both sides are set to the same position. Please
observe the Nm torque value (see the page on torque).

Adjustable back sling

Adjustable back sling
The adjustable back sling can
be adjusted for tension by using
several straps. The back sling
upholstery can be accessed from
the inside via an opening and can
be padded to suit individual tastes.
