The term "fitting" is the term used in the German and English spare parts catalogue. Alternatively, the instructions for use
explain the function of the component, which is why the term quick-release axle mounting is used there.
6.2.2.1 Adjustment in the drive wheel adapter
The drive wheel can be installed at six height positions in the drive wheel adapter (see fig. 78/see fig. 80). Six addi
tional height positions are obtained by swapping the drive wheel adapters on the right and left sides and rotating
them at the same time (see fig. 79/see fig. 81).
Adjusting the height within the drive wheel adapter
1) Loosen the hexagon nuts on both sides of the quick-release axle mounting (see fig. 7, see fig. 8).
2) Pull the quick-release axle mounting washers (see fig. 9, items 2/3) out until the quick-release axle mounting is
moveable.
3) Slide the quick-release axle mounting with the hexagon nuts, quick-release axle mounting washers and sleeve
to the desired position.
4) Note the following during assembly of the quick-release axle mounting:
→ Camber setting: This is adjusted via the angle of the bore in the quick-release axle mounting (see fig. 10,
item 1, description: see Page 12).
→ Quick-release axle mounting washers: The respective chamfered edge of the quick-release axle mounting
washers faces out (see fig. 10, item 2).
→ Alignment: Once changed, the left and right quick-release axle mountings must both have the same vertical
and horizontal position in the drive wheel adapter.
5) Tighten the hexagon nuts on both sides of the quick-release axle mounting to 40 Nm.

Effects
•
The higher the drive wheel position, the more the seat surface is tilted to
the rear
•
Wheelchair is easier to tip backwards when crossing obstacles
•
The change in the centre of gravity results in a lower, more stable seat
position in the wheelchair
•
The seat height can be further adjusted in combination with a height
adjustment of the caster wheels.
•
