The Position of the Brakes
High Brakes
(Figure 8)
The brakes should be adjusted so that they sink into the tyres when locked
by about 5mm. This is done by loosening the brakes’ clamp bolt with
wrench no.10, and socket no. 4, and then by pushing the brake forward or
back along the seat tube on the frame. Find the best position and then
tighten the screw.
Low Brakes & U2 brake (accessory)
Figure 7
These brakes are adjusted in the same way but it’s important to check that
the brakes are placed equally far forward on both sides of the frame.
NB! When the air pressure is low, the tyre is worn or when you change the
type of tyre the impact of the brake changes.
A GOOD CHAIR WRONGLY ADJUSTED IS NOT A GOOD CHAIR
The effort of adjusting your chair is well worth it for a long period of use in
the future. Try out different adjustments for a few days and make sure you
really find the optimal sitting position and balance in your chair.
Your Panthera chair is constructed to need virtually no maintenance. There are a few parts you should check
regularly. (You should of course clean and check the chair if you use it in more extreme environments such
as in sand or salt water).
Once every month you should:
- Clean the chassis
using car shampoo or washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. If very dirty you can use a
degreasing agent. Remember to lubricate all mobile parts after cleaning.
- Clean the caster wheel connection to the fork attachment
(between the wheel and the fork). It is
common for hair and dust to collect here which can damage the bearings. Loosen the nut using key
number 10 and hold the bolt with key number 10. Pull the bolt out and remove the wheel. Clean the
spaces between the wheel and the fork and wipe the outside of the wheel bearings with a cloth.
Squeeze a drop of oil onto each bearing. Reassemble the parts.
- Lubricate the rear wheel axles.
Remove the wheel and squeeze a few drops of oil over the axle. If you
are out in rain and slush or do not remove the wheels very often you should do this more frequently.
- Pump up the tyres
, they can take pressure of up to 8 kilos.
- Check all the screws and bolts
, tighten them if necessary.
- Check that your chair is not damaged.
If damage has occurred, contact you local Panthera dealer
at once.
Twice every year you should also:
- Lubricate the ball bearings in the brakes with a few drops of oil.
- Lubricate the bushing at the joint of the backrest. Remove the nut with key number 10 and hold the bolt
with key number 10. Lubricate the bushing with a few drops of oil.
- Upholstery can be machine washed at 30 degrees if necessary.
