Usage instructions Adapter & Adaptation • To change the angle adjustment of the clamp cover, attach the clamps on the steering head connection so they vertically mirror the adapter. The screw heads of the M6 tensioning screws are then visible on the other side (wheelchair or product side) as before, coloured yellow in the figure. With this modification, the frame clamps must then be reattached to the wheelchair side.

Usage instructions Adapter & Adaptation Steering head position on the adapter The steering head can be mounted in two positions: high and low. To change the position of the steer- ing head, the entire steering head, coloured yellow, is attached to the adapter, rotated by 180°. To do so, you need to loosen the four M6 threaded pins (Metric size 3 mm), orange coloured, and the two M6 clamp screws (Metric size 5 mm), green coloured, with washers and corresponding nuts (Metric size 17 mm).
