Connecting the frame to the drive unit bracket
1) Prepare the drive unit bracket and frame.
2) Pull the seat lock release strap and fold the locking
bar all the way down (see fig. 23).
3) On the drive unit bracket, push down on the step
points (frame protection rollers) above the anti-tip
per rollers until these touch the ground (see
fig. 48). The drive unit bracket is now at an angle.
4) Set the frame onto the drive unit bracket from above
(see fig. 48).
5) Pull the seat lock release strap and fold the locking
bar all the way up (see fig. 23).
INFORMATION: In doing so, ensure that the
locking bar is pushed back into its proper posi
tion (see fig. 50, item 1). Both locking bolts
have to engage properly (see fig. 50, item 2).
CAUTION! Falling due to lack of frame stability.
Check that the locking bolts are properly
engaged at both sides on the outside of the
base support. The bolts must be clearly visible
so that the frame cannot disengage from the
drive unit bracket (see fig. 51).
