6.2.2 Adjusting vertical the position of the drive wheels
The vertical position of the drive wheels can be adjusted by moving the quick-release axle mounting (of the
fittings)
1)
vertically in the drive wheel adapter.
Combined with adjusting the height of the caster wheels, this also allows the seat height to be optimally adjusted to
individual requirements.
1)
The term “fitting” is the term used in the German and English spare parts catalogue. Alternatively, the instruc
tions for use explain the function of the component, which is why the term quick-release axle mounting is used
there.
Changing the drive wheel position has the following effects:
Drive wheel position
Effects
Move upwards
•
The higher the drive wheel position, the more the seat surface is tilted to
the rear
•
Wheelchair is easier to tip backwards when crossing obstacles
•
The change in the centre of gravity results in a lower, more stable seat
position in the wheelchair
•
The seat height can be further adjusted in combination with a height
adjustment of the caster wheels.
Move downwards
•
The lower the drive wheel position, the less the seat surface is tilted to the
rear
•
Wheelchair is harder to tip backwards when crossing obstacles
•
The seat height can be further adjusted in combination with a height
adjustment of the caster wheels.
The drive wheel can be set to a total of 12 height positions. It can be set to six additional positions by rotating the
drive wheel adapter by
180°
.
1) Remove the wheels.
2) Loosen the hexagon nuts (see fig. 6, item 1) on both sides of the quick-release axle mounting (see fig. 6,
item 2) and remove the quick-release axle mounting.
3) Slide the quick-release axle mounting back on in the desired position and tighten the hexagon nuts slightly.
4) Note the following during assembly of the quick-release axle mounting:
→
Camber setting: This is adjusted via the angle of the bore in the quick-release axle mounting (see page 11).
→
INFORMATION: After being adjusted, the left and right quick-release axle mountings must both be
in the same vertical and horizontal position in the drive wheel adapter.
