Service Manual BASIC LIGHT 5
FORK ANGLE
SERVICE MANUAL
Work on a flat and even surface
You can find this kind of adjustment in different models the frame of which the system
is fixed to in different way. Nevertheless, the adjustment procedure is the same.
You should check and adjust the fork angle whenever you change the seat height.
The fork axle has to be perpendicular to the ground.
Slightly loosen one of the two nuts
A
.
Screw off the other nut
A
and washer.
Push the bolt
V
off its housing just enough to be able to swing the support
S
.
Do not remove the bolt.
Adjust the fork angle.
You can now adjust the fork by swinging it to the front or to the rear, pivoting it on the
bolt you have slightly loosened before.
That is possible thanks to the two horizontal slots
B
on the support
S
.
You can reveal the perpendicularity using a spirit level leant against the cylinder of the
fork support as shown in the picture, or you can turn the fork. In this last way, the cast-
er should evenly touch the ground all around the clock.
The head of the fixing bolts
V
is eccentric; therefore, for
each of the six sides you can get a different position, in
fact, a different inclination.
Now, turn the head of the bolt
V
until you find the side that
allows you to push the bolt in its housing without moving (swing) the support
S
.
Fix the corresponding nut
D
(with washer) and then the nut of the other bolt.
If, even with the best position of the head of the bolt, it
is not possible to pus hit in its housing, swing the sup-
port just enough to let the bolt in and crew the nut with-
out tightening it. Now, the fork is not perpendicular,
therefore, you have to work on the other bolt following
the same procedure.
For remarkable seat inclination or flat seat, you may not
reach the correct angle (perpendicular). In such case,
adjust it the best you can.
Test the wheelchair and check if it goes straight.
