Maintain sufficient clearance from sources of heat. If the product is parked for an extended period of time or the
tyres overheat (e.g. in the vicinity of radiators or in case of exposure to strong sunlight behind glass), the tyres may
become permanently deformed.
During extended storage, the knee lever wheel lock on wheelchairs with PU tyres (= tubeless tyres) must be
released since tyre deformation may otherwise result.

6 Preparing the product for use

6.1 Assembly

WARNING
Failure to verify readiness for use before putting into service
Falling, tipping over, serious injuries due to incorrect adjustment or installation
► Check the existing settings of the product before you start using it for the first time.
► After every assembly of drive wheels with a quick-release axle, check that they are properly mounted. The
quick-release axles must be firmly locked in the wheel attachment device.
► Check the centre of gravity of the sitting position. This must be adjusted in so that smooth adjustment is pos­
sible when the release lever of the seat tilt is activated. Contact the qualified personnel if necessary.
→ Centre of gravity too far forward: The user could tip forward when the seat is tilted.
→ Centre of gravity too far back: The user could tip backwards when the seat is tilted.
► Pay particular attention to the stability against tipping, free running of the wheels and correct function of the
brakes/wheel locks.
► Ensure that the knee lever wheel lock is properly adjusted (approx. 5 mm distance to the tyre, technical
changes reserved).
WARNING
Overloading
Severe injuries if the product tips over due to overloading, damage to the product
► Do not exceed the maximum load capacity (see the nameplate and section "Technical data").
► Please note that certain accessories and add-on components will reduce the remaining load capacity.

INFORMATION: Save the packaging in case transportation is subsequently required.
2) Fold the back support to the vertical position.
3) Insert the gas compression spring of the back support angle adjustment (see fig. 3, item 1) into the adapter on
the back support (see fig. 3, item 2). Make sure that the Bowden cable is aligned down (see fig. 3, item 3).
Secure the gas compression spring with the locking bolt (see fig. 4, item 1).
4) Slide the push handles into the back support tubes (see fig. 5). Guide the clamping lever through the upper
bore in the back support tube and screw it into the clamping piece of the push handle (see fig. 6). Attach the
push handles with the clamping levers and washers (see fig. 7).

5) Insert the drive wheels into the wheel attachment device (see page 31). The quick-release axles must not be
removable after the press button is released.
6) Attach the side panels (see page 38).
7) Slide the head support into the holder on the back plate and attach it with the clamping lever(see page 39, see
fig. 71, item 1).
8) Attach the holder of the pommel underneath the seat plate (see page 27; see fig. 40, item 1). Attach the pom­
mel to the holder (see page 27; see fig. 39, item 1).
