Adaptation
When adapting the chair to suit your sitting position and provide the mobility you
require, it is important that you make the following adjustments in the correct
order. First, adjust the sitting position and after that, adjust the balance of the chair
according to your mobility requirements. The sequence is important since when
you change your sitting position you also change the balance of the chair.
You should make the following adjustments in this order:
1) The tension of the seat upholstery
2) The height of the footrest
3) The tension of the calf band
4) The angle of the backrest
5) The tension of the backrest upholstery
6) The balance of the wheelchair
1) Tension of the seat upholstery.
The rear section of the seat upholstery can
be tightened or loosened by adjusting the
Velcro band underneath the seat as shown in
fi gure 5. This allows you to vary your sitting
height by about 2 cm up or down.
2) Height of the footrest.
The footrest can be adjusted up or down.
Remove the two screws supporting the
footrest on the front of the frame as shown in
fi gure 6, unscrew using a 3mm socket head
key. Push the end plug down by placing key
19 around the tubing above and tapping down
with a hammer. You will then be able to move
the footrest up or down to fi t into one of the
fi ve alternative height positions. You should
adjust the footrest at a height where your
thighs are supported by the seat at the same
time as your feet are supported by the footrest.
Assembly and dismantling:
When transporting the chair you should remove the
rear wheels and fold down the backrest.
To remove the rear wheels, press in the button at
the centre of the hub as in fi gure 4. Then pull the
wheel straight out. To insert the wheels, press in
the button and push the axle into the hole in the
casing. Then push the wheel all the way in, release
the button and pull out to check that the wheel is
securely in place and the button springs back out.
The U2 Light has no back locking device so
remove the cushion and fold the backrest forwards.

Conduct a technical inspection of the chair, check that:
The rear wheel axles should move smoothly in and out of the casing.
The button at the centre of the hub should spring out when the rear wheels
have been inserted.
All four wheels touch the ground.
The caster fork can be easily rotated.
The backrest folds down easily.
