REAR WHEELS

A
By changing the position of the rearwheel on the
rearwheel attachment you can alter both the rear
seat height and the manoeuvrability/stability of the
wheelchair. The further forward the rearwheel is posi-
tioned, the more manoeuvrable your chair becomes,
but with reduced stability.
1. 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.
Always remember to adjust the brakes, when
the rearwheel position has been changed.
2. To move the rearwheel (either backwards or for-
wards) 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 cor-
rect position, it is important that you check
thoroughly that the nuts and screws are
tightened securely. This is important for your
own safety!
CAMBER
The cambered rearwheel plate is mounted and
adjusted in the same way as the original rearwheel
plate, see above.
1. Make sure that the rib (A) on the rearwheel plate
and the chamfer (B) on the camber block is placed
downwards.
