XII. ASSEMBLING AND CHANGING THE WHEELS
Observe the following guidelines when fitting and
changing wheels (removable models).
Do not let any portion of your hand extend past
the wheel inner rim during wheel removal. The
motor assembly can rotate in the wheel assem-
bly and may create a pinch point.
A. DISMANTLING THE WHEELS
1. Remove the battery (A), so that the power is not
inadvertently switched on during the operation.
NOTE– Always place the protective cap on the battery
when removed. There is the risk of a short cir-
cuit if connecting parts are not covered.
2. Take the coupler plug (B) out of the left wheel
by turning the end a small amount.
NOTE– Wind the coupler plug (B) you have removed
onto the right wheel and take care that it is
not damaged.
3. Open the quick-release axle clamp on the left
wheel. Pull the lever and remove the rear
wheel. (C)
NOTE– When the left wheel has been removed, the
wheelchair frame and the remaining right wheel
are light enough to be carried. If it is not nec-
essary to take off the right wheel. The wheel-
chair can then be lifted into a vehicle.
4. If necessary, the right wheel can be removed in
the same way.
IMPORTANT– When removing the wheel, hold the bat-
tery holder firmly, so that the wheel does
not turn. Under certain circumstances, if
a wheel revolves during this operation,
the battery holder and other parts may
be damaged.
