Inserting / removing the sideguards
Note: QPX models are available with carbon fibre clothes guards. These can be fixed
or removable, as chosen on the order form. Both cases leave a range of
adjustments to compensate for any change of the rear wheel position.
For removable clothes guards:
•
To remove the clothes guards,
carefully extract it from its
lodging.
•
When inserting it back, insert the
cone-shaped titanium blade
supporting the carbon on its
correct lodging on the side of the
seat, making sure the placement is correct and stable.
Inserting and extracting the clothes guards can be performed with the wheel both in
place and not and even with the user sitting on the wheelchair.

Inserting/removing the rear wheels
Usually QPX wheelchairs are shipped with the rear
wheels disconnected from the frame.
To put the wheels in place do the following:
•
make sure the brakes are unlocked;
•
Insert the axle in the wheel by pressing the button;
•
while keeping the button pressed, insert the pin in
the appropriate bush on the wheelchair’s frame;
•
release the button;
•
make sure the wheel is properly set by trying to
pull it out without pressing the button (making
sure it doesn’t) and by raising it and trying to spin it;
