FRAME LENGTH AND SEAT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT XJ
Necessary tools: 5 mm Allen key, 10 mm spanner, mallet, (5 and 8 mm drill pin)
The frame of the model Exelle Junior has three different lengths that are
considered “ideal” according to the seat depth PS (1,2,3,4,5).
Thus:
SHORT
for PS 27.5-30 cm;
MEDIUM
for PS 32.5-35 cm;
LONG
for PS 37.5-40 cm.
“Ideal” does not mean “compulsory”, therefore, you can choose when
ordering the wheelchair, but you can also modify it afterwards.
In fact, the frame length is adjustable by means of proper spacers
between crossbar and front and/or rear frame.
SHORT FRAME:
no spacer
– minimum frame length
MEDIUM FRAME:
one 2.5 cm between crossbar and front frame (the
frame becomes 2.5 cm longer in front)
LONG FRAME
one 2.5 cm between crossbar and front frame and one
2.5 cm between crossbar and rear frame (the frame becomes 5 cm
longer).
Note
: with long frame, the gap between the seat canvas and the
backrest tube is always 2.5 cm longer than when the frame is short or
medium (e.g.: a chair with PS 37.5 cm and long frame, will have the
seat canvas depth equal to 35 cm).
The short frame
A
has no spacer, but you can make three adjustments:
1. Add front spacer, so, you will make it longer in front only
– it becomes
medium frame
B
;
2. Add front and rear spacers, so, you will make it longer in front and
at rear
– it becomes long frame
C
and the seat depth increases by
2.5 cm;
3. Add rear spacer, so, you will make it longer at rear only
D
– the seat
depth increases by 2.5 cm.
Note:
do not put two spacers (5 cm) only in front or only at rear.
To make explanation easier, we refer to the picture showing the lower
side of the frame. It should be clear that other spacers are present on the
upper side (positions
F
and
R
). With the above information, it should also
be clear that the four variants
A B C D
are possible by adding or removing
spacers.
To change the length of the frame it is necessary to remove either front or
rear frame according to the case. Hereafter, examples that include all
possibilities.
FROM MEDIUM FRAME TO SHORT FRAME
(Spacers are highlighted with grey squares)
Remove the bolts
V
and corresponding nuts that fix the front frame to the
connecting inner tubes.
Remove the bolt
V1
and corresponding nut that fix the side guard support.
(The Dynamic rear frame does not have that fixing bolt).
Remove the brake, too (this is not indispensable, but it will be easier to
work without it)
