SERVICE MANUAL
DIRECTIONALITY
ADJUSTING THE DIRECTIONALITY
Check that the two forks are perpendicular to the ground. If they are not,
proceed with the adjustment of the fork angle following the instructions
on the sheet FORK ANGLE ADJUSTMENT.
If both forks axis are correct but the wheelchair still turns right or left, it
means that the latitudinal angle is not perfect.
This may be due to hit, to improper pressure exercised on the fork or its
support, or to a tiny imperfection among all parts fixed together due to
their manufacturing tolerances.
You can fix the fork axle
P
in three different angles to correct the direc-
tionality.
Loosen all four grab screws
G
, remove the bolt
F
and slide off the fork
complete with the axle
P
.
The axle has two side hollows
B
where you have to cast the flat inserts
C0
or the 1° titled inserts
C1
that are recognizable thanks to two dots.
With the flat inserts
C0
, the axle keep its original inclination.
With the tilted inserts
C1
, the axle tilts by 1° right or left according to
how to cast them in the hollows
—
see images.
Note: you can cast the inserts only as indicated in these images.
Once you have casted the inserts
C0
or
C2
, it is advisable to try to
screw the bolt
F
to check there is no difficulty. Sometimes, in fact, the
holes of the inserts may have working burr that make the bolt hard to go
through.
To mount the fork unit. Insert the axle
P
in the fork support paying atten-
tion to the orientation of the same axle. In fact, the axle is not straight,
but it shows a bend. Such bend must be facing to the rear of the wheel-
chair.
Insert and screw the bolt
F
without tightening it much (it is enough to screw it up to stop).
Adjust the fork angle
—
see sheet “fork angle”.
Note. This type of adjustment can take place even at original assembly, therefore, you may find the in-
serts
C0
on one axle and
C1
on the other, for instance.
The wheelchair is not supplied with supplementary inserts, therefore, it will be necessary to order them
when needed.
Axles without inserts
Until 2019 the axles had no inserts
C0
or
C1.
There were 0°, 1°rh and 1°lh axles.
To adjust the directionality, it is necessary to change the axle.
