Shock absorbers
Variants
: The Xplore Small is supplied with one shock absorber and the Medium and Large models have
two shock absorbers.
Shock absorber stiffness:
the correct level of the shock absorber is adjusted by a Made for
Movement representative when the first adjustments are made. If the desired shock absorber
stiffness changes at a later date, this can be adjusted as follows: loosen the locking nut by hand
(3) by turning it two to three times. If you want to increase the stiffness, turn the adjustment
nut in a clockwise direction. Turning it anticlockwise will reduce the stiffness. Adjust the second
shock absorber equally. Tighten the locking nut (3) against the adjustment nut after the shock
absorber has been adjusted.
Special adjustments:
for users with special needs, the springs can be replaced in order to adjust
the suspension over and above the standard settings. MFM has 2 different spring strengths that
are available for special adjustments. These may be required if the user’s weight and/or
movement patterns maximise the displacement of the springs so that the bottom part of the
frame touches the floor. Initially an attempt could be made to tighten the spring(s), but if this
does not produce satisfactory results then switching to stronger springs can be tried.
