paying attention to place it square to
the staircase (see Fig. 33). Now, climb
the next flight or, if the final
destination
is reached,
release the wheelchair.
WARNING:
ALWAYS
HOLD THE CONTROL HANDLE
FIRMLY!
13) REVERSING WHEELCHAIR
HANDLE CLAMPS
on the market, there are not only
wheelchairs
equipped with push
handles (Fig. 34/a) but also
wheelchairs in which the push handles are replaced by a cross bar
(Fig.35/a) placed in the rear part on the seat back. In these cases the
safety couplings (Fig. 36/a), because it is equipped with a second hole (Fig.
36/b), can be rotated of 90° so that
the red hook (Fig. 36/c) grasps the
shackle
from below and not
sideways, clamping the wheelchair
to the control handle with the same
safety of the traditional wheelchairs.
In order to carry out this operation
follow this procedure:
1) Remove the clamping screw placed in the end of the control handle arm
(Fig.36/d) and loosen the locking hand-wheel (Fig. 36/e);
2) Extract the safety clamp (Fig. 36/a) toward the outside (Fig. 36/f);

3) Rotate the safety coupling
(Fig.37/a) by 90° (Fig.37/b), to the left
for the left one and to the right for the
right one;
4) Insert the rotated coupling (Fig.
37/c) onto the arm (Fig.37/d). Re-
screw the setscrew into the end of
control handle arms.
5) Bring the control handle (Fig.38/a)
to the seat back of the wheelchair
(Fig.38/b). Pull the safety plunger (Fig.
38/c), hook the shackle (Fig. 38/d)
using the hook (Fig. 38/e) and release
the plunger (Fig. 38/c).
NOTE: ensure that the plunger (Fig.
38/c) is placed under the red hook
(Fig. 38/e) so that it can’t be
released from the wheelchair (Fig.
38/d);
6) Lock the coupling turning the
hand-wheel (Fig. 38/f).
7) Lift the arms (Fig. 38/g) until the
point in which the red hook (Fig.
38/e) is placed in contact to the
shackle (Fig. 38/d) is reached.
