To rotate the armrest, lift it enough to free the safety system and
swing it outward by 180°.
To remove the armrest, first push forward the fixing pin “P”
positioned in the lower part of the support “S” and pull the armrest
up.
Insert and push down the armrest in the support hole in order to fix
it. An audible click indicates that the support is locked.
Do not use the armrests as a seat or bodyweight
resting points while transferring in and out of the
wheelchair. This may result in the breakage of the
armrest and it may cause injury to the user.
Do
not use the armrest as a hand hold for pulling the
chair up. The armrests may come off completely
causing possible injury to the person.
Always
check that the armrests are correctly located
in the groove on the support. This is to avoid
accidental rotation of the armrest which could cause
the user to slip out of the wheelchair.
7.2 Transit wheels
This accessory
(figure 59)
is necessary when the width of the
wheelchair makes passing through narrow gaps impossible (eg. a
door or a lift).
To use this accessory it is necessary to remove the rear wheels
(see chapter 5.5 “Quick-release rear wheels”).
The use of this accessory the wheelchair becomes both narrower
and shorter.
The transit wheels can also be removed from their support
“S2”
by
sliding the tube off its support after pressing the release button “A”
which locks it in position.
For a correct assembly of the transit wheel it must be remembered
that when inserting it into the support, the pin “A” should always
face toward the inside of the wheelchair.
It
must be remembered that while using the transit
wheels (with the rear wheels removed), the parking
brakes will not work at all.
7.3 Anti tip wheels
This accessory
(figure 60)
has been designed to prevent the
wheelchair from tipping back. In order to ensure that it works
correctly it should be adjusted to a distance of 2-3 cm from the
ground.
The adjustment of the height is carried out by removing fixing screw
“A” (3 mm Allen key and a 8 mm spanner)
