wheel alignment

adjusting the wheel alignment
note: To achieve the very best movement, the rear
wheels must be adjusted to their optimum position. This
means correctly adjusting the wheel alignment. To do this,
measure [the distance between] both wheels front and
rear to ensure that they are parallel to one another. The
difference between both measurements should not
exceed 5 mm. The parallel setting can be adjusted by
loosening the screws (1) and rotating the axle adapter (2).
When finished, make sure that all screws have been
properly tightened, (Fig. 6.32). See the page on torque.
warnIng!
Be careful, there is a risk of tipping when adjusting the
centre of gravity of the seat!
adjusting the rear wheelbase width
The rear wheelbase is defined as the distance between
the upper side of the rear wheels and the backrest tubes
and is factory set (1.25 cm). This must be increased if
more space is to be created between the tyres and the
optional height-adjustable armrests.
note: When adjusting the rear wheelbase, set first one
wheel and then the other. When adjusting the rear
wheelbase, move the quick-release adapter (3) in a
telescopic manner into the axle bracket (2) or out of the
camber tube. Loosen the screw (1) on the rear axle
bracket. Move the axle adapter in or out, until the desired
wheelbase is achieved. Tighten the screws to 7 Nm.
Repeat the procedure on the right side of the wheelchair
and set the same gap on the left side (Fig. 6.32/6.33).
