Service manual
Now you can remove the front frame and the
spacers, too.
Remove the two bolts
V2
and corresponding
nuts that fix the rear frame to the connecting
inner tubes.
Slide the connecting tubes to the rear by 2.5
cm until aligning the new holes according to
the
V2
fixing points on the frame.
If the tube does reach the point where the
holes in line with each
other, see “particular
notes” at the end of this sheet.
Fix these two points.
The upper connection tube
T1
has to stick out
from the crossbar rail by approximately 4.5
cm, while the lower one
T2
by approximately
4 cm from the crossbar tube.
Fix the front frame with bolts
V
and
corresponding nuts.
Fix the side guard support with
V2
and
corresponding nut.
Repeat the same operations on the other side
of the wheelchair and then mount the brakes
and adjust them.
FROM SHORT FRAME TO MEDIUM
FRAME
Proceed as just explained above, but the
other way round.
FROM MEDIUM FRAME TO LONG FRAME
Remove the two bolts
V2
and corresponding
nuts that fix the rear frame to the connection
inner tubes.
Remove the bolt
V1
and corresponding nut
that fix the side guard support.
Remove the rear frame.
Insert the spacers, assemble the rear frame
and fix it with the bolts
V2
and
corresponding nuts.
Note the position of the spacers with respect
to the crossbar rail
With this adjustment, not only does the
frame become longer, but the seat depth
increases, too.
In fact, as you can see in the picture, the
frame goes back with respect to the seat.
FROM LONG FRAME TO MEDIUM FRAME
Proceed as just explained above, but the
other way round.
FROM SHORT FRAME TO LONG FRAME OR VICEVERSA
Proceed similarly as explained above. In these cases, you have
to work on both front and rear frame.
SEAT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
You saw that when changing from medium frame to long frame,
you change the seat depth, too, by 2.5 cm. You can increase
the seat depth even if you start from a short frame. This case
we can call it “elongated short frame”.
If you remove the spacer from crossbar and the rear frame, of
course, you reduce both the length of the frame and the seat
depth.
