5.11 REAR WHEELS

5.11.1 Adjustment 22'' - 24''
Tool: 24 mm fixed spanner
You can adjust the height of the seat by moving the
rear wheel attachment upwards or downwards.The
balance of the wheelchair can be adjusted by moving
the rear wheel attachment forward or backward.
When the attachment is moved forwards, the chair
will be somewhat easier to propel, but the risk of tip-
ping will increase. If you move the attachment towards
the rear, however, the chair will be more stable but
slightly harder to propel. Test the different settings
to see what suits you best.
The risk of tipping increases when the rear
wheels moved forward. Compensate by mount-
ing an anti-tip device on the wheelchair.
5.11.1.1.Horizontal position
Loosen the rear wheel housing (A) with a spanner.
Move the housing to the required position, either
further forwards or backwards. Make sure that you
tighten the housing securely when you have decided
on the position. The axle housing should be tightened
with a manual and dynamometric wrench calibrated
to 40 Nm.
Now check the position of the brakes, and that
the user can move the chair safely in its new
balance position.
