SETTINGS
7. Adjusting the balance of the wheelchair
(Fig. 17)
1. Remove the drive wheel by pressing the quick release button and pulling the wheel
straight off.
2. Use a 4 mm Allen key in order to loosen the 4 lock screws (1). Repeat this process on
the other side.
3. You will now be able to push the rear axle forwards or backwards along the horizontal
frame tubing. Continue until you find a suitable setting.
4. It is important that the rear axle is in the same forward position on both sides of the
frame. This is most easily verified by measuring the distance between the rear end of the
horizontal tubing and the rear end of the wheel attachment. Use a tape measure or ruler to
ensure the distance is the same on both sides.
5. Tighten the lock screws (1) on both sides.
6. Reattach the rear wheels to the rear axle of the wheelchair and push in the wheels as
far as possible. Check that the quick release button has sprung out, confirming the quick
release is in locked position.
7. Pull the wheels outwards to ensure they are firmly attached.
8. Adjusting the brakes
PLEASE NOTE
! The effectiveness of the brakes is affected when the air pressure
drops, the tyres become worn or when changing to a different type of tyre. As a result, the
brakes’ settings should be checked from time to time.
Adjusting the high brake
(Fig. 18)
1. Use a 5 mm Allen key in order to loosen the lock screw (2).
2. You will now be able to push the brake forwards and backwards. Adjust the brake so
that it presses around 4 mm into the tyre while in locked position. Tighten the lock screw
(2) using a 5 mm Allen key.
3. The brake is locked by pushing the lever (1) forwards until it stops.
4. Adjust the brake on the other side by following steps 1 to 3.
