CONNECTING BLUMIL SPORT TO A WHEELCHAIR
To start connecting BLUMIL SPORT to the wheelchair determine the length of
the center bracket.
In order to connect BLUMIL SPORT, it is necessary to drive the wheelchair to the
front of the bumper [1]. The center bracket hook [2] should be above the rear
bar of the wheelchair. (in some wheelchair models the access to this bar is
blocked by a different construction bar of the wheelchair – especially Panthera
models. In this case the hook can be attached to that bar.) If, during approaching,
the central bracket gets caught, it must be raised or lowered using the
Disconnect and Connect buttons [3]. If the front of the footrest is in contact with
the bumper, you can press the Connect button. The front of the wheelchair will
start to raise. Keep the button pressed until the clamp rests on the footrest of
the wheelchair. After connecting, make sure that the system is firmly connected
by moving the steering handle from side to side so that there is no movement.
If the front wheels of the wheelchair do not rise to a height of at least 2 cm, a
different position of the footrest in relation to the bumper should be set. To do
this, you have to extend the hook of the central bracket by a few centimeters
and drive the wheelchair again to connect it to Blumil SPORT - this time further
away from the bumper and repeat the connection procedure.
WARNING: Pressing the Connect button for too long
after connecting the system may damage the
wheelchair frame or the BLUMIL SPORT.
To disconnect the system, press the Disconnect button and keep it pressed until
the front wheels of the wheelchair are lowered and the central bracket rises
above the rear bar of the wheelchair. You can then freely move out with the
wheelchair.
