2) Slide the arm support to the desired depth.
3) Firmly tighten the screw connections.
7.6.3 Adjusting the clothing guard
Side panel with height-adjustable forearm support (only with clothing guard)
1) Loosen and remove the screw connections on the corners of the holder using an Allen key (size 3) (see fig. 18,
item 1).
2) Position the clothing guard as desired using the perforated holes.
3) Insert the screw connections into the appropriate slots of the perforated holes and firmly tighten them.

To change the position of the clothing guard for adaptation to changed drive wheel positions, reposition the cloth­
ing guard on the bores of the seat bars.
7.7 Adjusting the drive wheels
CAUTION
Pinching on components
Crushing and pinching of fingers due to lack of caution in danger areas
►
Do not reach between the drive wheel and wheel lock.
► Do not reach into the spokes of the rotating wheels.
7.7.1 Adjusting the wheelbase with 22"/24" drive wheels
WARNING
Incorrectly adjusted wheelbase
Tipping over, falling of the user due to incorrect adjustment
► Only adjust the wheel adapter after completing the adjustments described above.
► Maximum stability is achieved when the frame is set in the lowest position and the rear wheels are set in the
rearmost position. Deviations from this setting reduce the stability of the mobility base for seating shells.
►
Avoid extreme settings that could lead to tipping when adjusting the seat angle.
► Please note that with the rear wheel in a more forward mounting position and with an unfavourable body posi­
tion, the user may tip backwards even on level ground.
►
Position the drive wheels towards the rear for transfemoral amputees. This improves the stability of the
product.
► Changing the size and position of the drive wheels may cause the caster wheels to wobble at higher speeds.
If changes are required, verify the horizontal alignment of the main frame.
WARNING
Improper assembly of removable wheels
Tipping, falling over of the user due to wheels coming off
► After each assembly, verify the proper fit of the removable wheels. The quick-release axles must be firmly
locked in the wheel attachment.
INFORMATION
To change the position of the drive wheels, the knee lever wheel lock first has to be loosened and subsequently
readjusted (see Page 22).
If 22"/24" drive wheels are installed, the wheelbase can be adjusted on a special wheel adapter. This has the fol­
lowing effects:
Position of the wheel adapter / drive wheel Effect
Shifting to the rear (farther away from the seating centre
of gravity) Larger wheelbase; tipping resistance increases; mobil­
ity base for seating shells is harder to tip backwards
when crossing obstacles;
larger forces required for tipping
Shifting forward (closer to the seating centre of gravity) Smaller wheelbase; tipping resistance decreases;
mobility base for seating shells is easier to tip back­
