Varicam System
Our patented Varicam system allows you to change the angle of the wheels by simply turning a bar under the
seat. Set the bar to ‘M
EAN
’ for extra stable, off road use and ‘L
EAN
’ for
the narrowest footprint and indoor use.
0-8 degrees in 10 seconds. Zero tools required.
The Trekinetic GTE has been designed to be as stable as possible off road but as practical as possible when used
indoors and around town. For normal day to day use, the chair can be left in the ‘LEAN’ position which means
the wheels are vertical and you should be able to fit through all but the narrowest of doorways. If you are
venturing off-
road though we recommend switching to ‘MEAN’ mode which changes the angle of the wheels by
8 degrees and makes the chair even more stable over rougher terrain.
To change the camber simply turn the camber bar clockwise for LEAN or anti-clockwise for MEAN, following
the arrows on the centre of the bar.
Please note that the adjustment of the camber
cannot be done
with the user in the chair and camber must be
fully set in the MEAN or LEAN positions. This means tightening the bar at either setting.
We recommend selecting the MEAN position wherever possible as this offers the maximum stability. Do not
alter the setting up screws in the black plastic blocks at either end of the camber bar. These are for setting at
service intervals only.
When using LEAN mode, small vibrations from daily use can sometimes cause the camber to unwind slightly.
To combat this, we recommend checking the tightness of the camber bar regularly. If this becomes a persistent
issue and the you feel the chair only needs to be locked in one position (I.e. not variable) we offer a camber lock
