.6 Supporting wheel (overturning protection)
The purpose of the supporting wheel is to avoid turning over backwards. As depicted in
the illustration, the wheel should be adjusted with a distance of 2-5cm towards the
floor.
For getting over a threshold, the supporting wheel must be swung in by the assistant
and afterwards be swung out again; otherwise the wheelchair may not be wheeled
properly.
The swing jib of the supporting wheel is pivoted in the fixed fitment. In order to swing out
the supporting wheel, push it down with your foot or hand and turn it by 180°. Then
release it, so it may be engaged into the position slot.
If you push down the jib in the fitment, it will come out of its position and may be swung
back. Make sure that the jib is snapped in its end position because a loose wheel may
result in an ankle injury of the assistant.
Wir empfehlen Ihnen bei einem sehr lebhaften Benutzer bzw. bei einer Tonus-
Dysstabilität ein zweites Sicherheitsrad, damit Ihnen der Rollstuhl nicht ungewollt nach
einer Seite umkippen kann. Ihr Orthopädiemechaniker baut es Ihnen gerne an Ihren
Siro II
. Auch nachträglich!
Advice for your orthopaedic mechanic master:
For adjusting the supporting wheel higher, loosen
screw A and pull out the jib from the spring and
the fitment. Re-set screw B in the jib by the
needed punch hole distance. Then assemble
spring and jib into the fitment and re-tighten all
screws properly.
