ASSEMBLY / ADJUSTMENT / OPERATION
Spoke protectors
The spoke protectors are already factory-mounted� It
is not possible to perform any readjustments� If it is
necessary to perform repairs to the spoke protectors,
please contact your medical supplies dealer�
Quick­release axles for front wheels
To remove the front wheels, proceed as follows:

Remove the seat shell (if this option is given)�

Fold the SIMPLY LIGHT undercarriage (if this op-
tion is given), but without activating the parking
brake�

Lift the SIMPLY LIGHT slightly at the front so that
the front wheel no longer touches the floor�

Press on the rubber cover of the guide tube with
your thumb� This activates the locking button lo-
cated under the cover�

Keep the button pressed down and pull the front
wheel off with your free hand�

Repeat this procedure on the other side�

Repeat these steps in reverse order to assemble
the front wheels (e�g� after transport)� The wheels
must engage audibly�
Locking of the front wheels
Release the lock of the front wheels by pulling the snap
lock out of the groove and turning through 90 °� To reac-
tivate the lock of the front wheels, turn the snap locks
back into their initial position until they engage� The
front wheels are then locked and the wheelchair can
only be moved straight ahead�
Knee lever brake (air brake)
Knee lever brakes are used in addition to parking
brakes (drum brakes)� These are factory-mounted
and adjusted with your order� If the braking action is
diminished by changes in distance (between wheel and
the knee-lever brake), you can readjust this by shifting
the sliding nuts on the C-rail�
Anti­tipping wheels
The rear end of the frame is equipped with two anti-
tipping wheels�
Important!
In normal driving position, the anti-
tipping wheels must always point in the
direction of the driving surface!
It may be necessary to swivel the anti-tipping wheels
upwards when negotiating high curbs and for transport
(reduces the size of the wheelchair for transport)� To
do so, proceed as follows:

Activate the parking brakes�

Position yourself behind the SIMPLY or SIMPLY
LIGHT undercarriage�

Pull on one of the anti-tipping brackets first and
slide it partly out of the adapter bracket groove�

Then move the anti-tipping bracket upwards until it
engages in the upper mounting groove�

Now allow the anti-tipping bracket to slide back
into the groove of the adapter bracket unit� Repeat
the same steps with the second anti-tipping wheel�

Release the parking brake�

Follow the same procedure for returning into the
original position�
Note!
Always check to ensure that the two
anti-tipping wheels are always facing in
the same direction� This is the only way to ensure
effective protection against tipping!
