Check the function of the wheel brake
by pressing
the lever forwards. If the brake effect is still not
sufficient, then carry out the adjustment steps
again (reduce or increase the distance to the
wheel).
11.11 Adjusting the seat height
Both front wheels in the chair frame of the patient-
propelled chair are height-adjustable (2 stages,
each 25 mm). By adjusting the front wheels, the
sitting position of the patient is changed so that the
patient is leaning back against the backrest.
Because
of this increased inclination, the
commode pan can slip out
.
Danger of tipping over!
Be sure that both wheels are set at the same
height and that the screws are
adequately tightened.
Remove all loose objects (such as toilet pan,
covers) and lay the chair on its side.
Push the footrests all the way up.
Using the Allen key (accessory) completely
unscrew the screws (left rotation) in the wheel
unit. When loosening the screw, press against
the retaining nut.
Pull out the wheel unit until the next holes line
up.
Screw the wheel unit back on firmly (right
rotation) and push the footrests back down.
Clean the chair before using it again!
11.12 Tip-over protection
In order to overcome objects, the patient-propelled
chair can be tipped back. In doing so, the front
wheels are lifted up from the ground, thus allowing
an obstacle to be overcome.
Firmly place both hands on the backrest and tip
the chair back until the fixed legs almost reach the
floor.
11.13 Driving over a toilet
When driving over a commode, attention must be
paid to the clearance (see: 8.2 dimension G).
To assure that the chair can be rolled with enough
clearance over the toilet, push the cross-brace with
you hand until it hits the striker at the front brace
(A). After the commode is finished being used, the
cross-brace (B) must be pushed back to the striker
at holder (C) in order to assure the chair’s stability.
