Replacing the Anti-Dive Spring

CAUTION! Danger of the wheelchair tipping over or rolling away!
• Secure the wheelchair from tipping over by propping it up with a wooden block under the
battery box that is long and wide enough! Using a wooden block that is too short or too high
could cause the wheelchair to tip over!
• Switch the wheelchair off at the remote!
Requirements:
• 5 mm Allen key
• Circlip pliers
Note
Pay attention to small pieces, and the order in which the components are disassembled. Arrange
them in an orderly fashion so they can easily be assembled again in the right order.
•
Prop up the wheelchair by lifting it up on the
side that you want to work on and then
placing the wooden block underneath the
battery box on that side (1).
•
To access the spring, you will need to
remove the lower pin (2) that holds the
walking beam.
•
The pin is secured with a circlip from the
inside (1).
•
Open the circlip protecting the pin using the
circlip pliers and remove it.
