8.1 Assembly of the U-frame
The aim of the assembly steps is to position the
top edge of the coupling plate approx. 42 cm
above.the.floor.(
). Once the U-frame with the
coupling plate is correctly positioned and securely
fastened, the traction device can be coupled
to the wheelchair and also uncoupled from the
wheelchair at any time without any problems and
without tools by the driver.

Adjusting the Lipo Lomo Pico
To do this, open the clamps on both sides just
enough to slide them over the front frame tubes
of the wheelchair. Only open the clamps as far
as necessary, as if they are opened too far the
clamping nuts could fall out (after approx. 20
turns).
Loosen the screws S2L and S2R so that the width
of the U-frame can be adjusted.
Fig. 14:
Loosening S2R and S2L
Adjust the angle of the clamps according to the
wheelchair frame at the clamping position. To
do this, loosen the screws S5L and S5R. This is
especially important for wheelchairs with V-shaped
frames.
WARNING
When loosening and tightening the screws S5L
and S5R, be sure to counteract from the inside
with a 4 mm Allen key and tighten the nut with a
5 mm Allen key. Be careful not to overtighten the
screws (10 Nm).

Loosening S5R and S5L
Now attach the clamping device to the frame of the
wheelchair using the levers H1L and H1R on the
left and right. Make sure that the clamps are at the
same.height..Do.not.finally.tighten.the.levers.yet,.so.
that small adjustments can still be made.
