Wheel and gear management

• To remove the wheels, the gear should preferably be in the direct

drive (1:1) position (the gear lever is in the vertical position).

• It is possible to change gear both when stationary and in motion.

However, the gearbox works more smoothly when the wheelchair

is in motion.

• Check that the wheel is attached by pulling the wheel outwards

and even shifting gears once, and ensure that the wheel does not

slide out from its mounting on the chair.

• Inspect GEARWHEEL’s geared wheelchair wheels once a month

as instructed in Section 8.
