6.2.3 Adjusting the drive wheel camber
The modular system of the product offers quick-release axle mountings with angled bores for different sloped set
tings of the drive wheels (see fig. 7, item 1).
The drive wheel camber is adjusted by exchanging the quick-release axle mounting. This has the following effects:
Position of drive wheel
Effects
0° position
•
Narrow track, excellent straight-line stability
•
Low rolling resistance
Wheel camber
•
Wheelchair becomes more manoeuvrable, turns faster and tips less easily
to the side
•
The wheel position protects the hands when turning the handrim
•
Overall width increases
•
Increased rolling resistance
The drive wheel camber can be set to
0°
,
2°
,
3°
and
4°
.
Adjusting the drive wheel camber
1) Loosen and remove the hexagon nuts (see fig. 8, item 1) on the quick-release axle mounting (see fig. 8, item 2).
2) Remove the quick-release axle mounting.
3) Have the new quick-release axle mounting ready. The camber is embossed in the quick-release axle mounting
(2°, 3°, 4° = 2, 3, 4 dots: see fig. 7, item 1).
4) Insert the selected quick-release axle mounting and slightly tighten the hexagon nuts.
INFORMATION: The groove on the quick-release axle mounting respectively faces vertically down and
out (see fig. 8, item 3).
5) Slide the supplied assembly aid (spirit level) (see fig. 9, item 1) onto the quick-release axle with the drive wheel
and insert the quick-release axle into the quick-release axle mounting.
6) The assembly aid must engage in the groove of the quick-release axle mounting (see fig. 8, item 3).
7) Align the quick-release axle mounting so the spirit level is in the centre position (see fig. 10, item 1). Tighten the
hexagon nuts on both sides of the quick-release axle mounting to
40 Nm
.
8) Detach the drive wheel and remove the assembly aid.
9) Reattach the drive wheel.
