By changing the position of the rearwheel on the rear-
wheel attachment you can alter both the seat height
and the manoeuvrability/stability of the wheelchair.
The further forward the rearwheel is positioned, 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 remove the screws (A), choose
the new position and fasten the screws.
Always remember to adjust the brakes, when
the rearwheel position is changed.
2. To move the rearwheel (either backwards or for-
wards) on the rearwheel attachment, first remove
the screws (B), adjust to the required position and
then fasten the screws.
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 is 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 tight-
ened securely. The axle housing (C) must be
tightened with a manual and dynamometric
wrench calibrated to 40Nm.This is important
for your own safety!
3. To obtain lower seat heights, the clamp (D) can
be mounted upside down (pic 3).
Always make sure that the arrow (E) and the
line (F) is pointing upwards, when mounting
the rearwheel attachment.
Do not try to loosen nut (G)!
