DETACHABLE MOTORS

For practical purposes and ease of operation, it is advisable to detach the motors as the last component of the
chair to be dismantled and to re-attach first.
PLEASE NOTE: Assistance may be required while this operation is carried out.
STEP 1:
Unscrew the knurled locking knob A. This can be unscrewed completely and still be retained in position.
STEP 2:
Support the weigh of the chair on the side the motor is being detached. Pull the motor assembly towards of
the chair, taking care to hold the motor assembly when it becomes detached. Repeat operation for both sides.
SPECIAL NOTE: Care must be taken when stowing the detached parts for transportation to ensure that no
damage occurs, particularly to the brake housing and gearbox unit.
To re-attach the motor assemblies, align the bottom tube rail with the tube of the motor assembly and push
firmly home. Ensure the locating pins B are aligned correctly and re-tighten fully the knurled locking knob A.
Do the same for both sides.
For ease of operation, is advisable to re-attach the motor assemblies as the first operation in the re-assembly
of the wheel chair after transportation.
NOTE: The disassembly and re-assembly of the motor assemblies can be handled and attached more easily if
the chair is carefully tipped into the front, taking into account that the leg rests are not attached.
The chair can be transported disassembled safely in a suitable vehicle. Reversing the above procedures
will make your chair ready at your destination.
