Headrest
Headrest (Fig. 4.10)
The headrest can be raised and moved horizontally both
forwards and backwards.
To do this, loosen the screw (1, 2 or 3).
Now you can adjust to the desired position. Tighten screws
again (see the page on torque).
In order to fold the wheelchair, please open the clamping lever
(1), slide the headrest bracket to the right side and fold it down.
Now you can fold the chair. To unfold the chair, please fold the
headrest bracket up, re-position the sliding gap into the
clamping lever and slide it to the left. Finally close the clamping
lever again (Fig. 4.11).

Adjusting the castor
To ensure that both forks are set parallel, simply count the teeth
visible on both sides. After setting the castor fork, the teeth will
guarantee a secure position, allowing an adjustment of 16° in 2°
increments (Fig. 4.12).
Use the flat side on the front of the castor fork to check
for a right-angled position to the ground.
The patented design allows the castor fork to be turned, so that
it can be reset at right-angles to the ground when the seat angle
is changed.
Setting the Castor, Castor adapter & Castor fork (Fig.
4.13)
If the wheelchair veers slightly to the right or left, or the castors
flutter, it may be caused by one or more of the following:
•
Forward and/or reverse wheel motion has not been set
properly.
•
The castor angle has not been adjusted properly.
•
Castor and/or rear wheel air pressure is incorrect; the wheels
do not turn smoothly.
The optimum adjustment of the castors is required so that the
wheelchair runs in a straight line.
Castors should always be adjusted by an authorized dealer.
The castor plates must be re-adjusted, and the wheel receiver
must be checked every time the rear wheel position has been
altered.
