6.3 Adaptation of the adapter on the
wheelchair
You now only have to open the frame clamps
fully to adapt the adapter on the wheelchair. To
do so, turn the clamp levers fully anti-
clockwise. Then the frame clamps must be
attached to the frame tube. The height is
shown by the already attached clam cover
stoppers. The frame clamps are then turned by
hand clockwise using the clamp lever.

Setting options on steering head

The angle-adjustable steering head can influ-
ence various parameters, such as the lifting
distance of the wheelchair steering wheels on
the adapted product, the distance between the
product wheel and wheelchair foot bed, or the
distance of the product's operating elements to
the user's body.
To adjust the angle of the steering head, the
four M6 adjustment screws (Metric size 3 mm)
must first be released on the top and bottom
on the steering head connection.

After then loosening the two M6 clamp screws
(Metric size 5 mm) the steering head can be
tilted by 25° on the side of the steering head
connection (Fig. 44). When adjusting the angle
of the steering head, you must ensure that the
wheel can run freely (horizontal dimension
between the extended steering axis) between
60 mm and 120 mm.
