5.11 REAR WHEEL ATTACHMENT

By changing the position of the rearwheel on the rear-
wheel attachment you can alter both the rear seat height
and the manoeuvrability/stability of the wheelchair. The
further forward the rearwheel is positioned, the more
manoeuvrable your chair
stability. For seatheights and positions, please refer to
the seat height tables.
Tools: 4 mm Allen Key
10 mm spanner
A
To alter the height position of the rearwheel plate, use
an Allen key to hold the screws (A) in place and loosen
nuts (B) with a fixed spanner. Choose the new position
and fasten the screws.
Tools:
24 mm spanner
C
To move the rearwheel (either backwards or forwards)
on the rearwheel attachment, first remove the nut (C),
adjust the axle housing (D) to the required position and
then refasten the nut.
The tip risk increases if the rear wheels
are located in front of the backrest. Use
anti-tip devices.
Always remember to adjust the brakes,
when the rearwheel position has been
changed.
When you have fitted the wheels in the
correct position, it is important that
you check thoroughly that the nuts
and screws are tightened securely. The
axle housing should be tightened with
a manual and dynamometric wrench
calibrated to 40Nm. This is important
for your own safety!
