back the adapter tube (Fig. 27) over the two
centring semi-shells. The fixing hook must sit
with no play on the centring semi-shells (Fig.
32) and may only move sideways by a mini-
mum amount (< 0.5 mm).
Figure 32: Clamp lever with pull loop in the open
position and fixing hook must sit with no play on the
centring semi-shells; for fixed positioning of the
adapter on the wheelchair, the clamp lever must be
pressed until the lock audibly clicks into place
If the distance between the clamping bracket
and centring column mount is set correctly, the
clamping bracket will rest gently on the front
frame cross tube by itself. If this is not the
case, the position must be modified accord-
ingly by sliding the centring column mount
(refer to Chapter 5.2).
Only by pressing the clamping bracket first
from above and then the clamping lever from
the front (Fig. 32) does the knee lever override
and the lock firmly closes on the clamping
bracket. The overriding of the knee lever and
engagement of the lock must be clearly notice-
able and audible. In addition, check the lock to
see if the clamping lever can be opened (do
not pull via the pull loop – this would release
the lock again). If it can't be opened, then at-
tach the pull loop to the front part of the
adapter using a Velcro strap to secure it. This
ensures that the adapter is securely locked
onto the wheelchair and it can be used as in-
tended.
