With eight back straps on the wheelchair, you can fully customize the back of the wheelchair to suit your own
body.
-
Get behind the wheelchair and first remove the backrest upholstery that is attached to the tension straps
with Velcro;
-
When you have removed the backrest upholstery you will see eight straps (figure 23). Each strap can be
adjust individually by simply release the Velcro, put the strap in the desired position and reattach the
Velcro;
-
When you're finished, place the backrest upholstery back and you can use the wheelchair.

5.11 Using the rear wheels (tire table) and anti-tip wheels
Removal of the rear wheel
You can remove the rear wheels using the quick release system in the following way:
-
Stand next to the wheelchair;
-
Tilt your wheelchair slightly so the wheel you wish to remove is slightly off the ground;
-
Press the black button in the centre of the wheel (figure 25) and remove the axle and wheel from the
frame. Make sure the black button is completely pressed in otherwise the ball bearing safety system that
stops the wheel from being removed at the opposite side of the axle will do exactly that;
To put the rear wheel back in place you must reverse the above steps. In order to ensure your safety please make
sure the axle is fully in place and the ball bearing system is engaged so the wheel does not come loose during use.
