Disassembling the AdvenChair
—Only do what’s required for the size of your vehicle.
For large vehicles you only need to remove the front wheel and forward beam.
a.
Remove the front wheel and forward beam:
i.
Lower the casters into wheelchair mode by removing the yellow pin in Figure 3,
rotating the casters down, and re-pinning.
ii.
Rotate the front wheel forward to take pressure off the forward beam, with
weight on the casters (Figure 7).
iii.
Loosen both of the forward beam clamps with the ratchet handles (Figure 6).
iv.
Unpin the white detent pin (Figure 6) from the forward beam rear clamp.
v.
Pull the forward beam straight forward, out of the clamps.
b.
Footrest: Rotate the entire footrest assembly up towards the seat so it is out of the
way (Figure 3).
i.
Pull the red detent pins from the top of the footrest assembly on both sides
ii.
Pull the blue detent pins from both sides of the footrest tray.
iii.
Rotate the footrest assembly up so the tubes are straight up and pin the tubes in
place. Reinsert the red detent pin from the bottom to keep the footrest up and
out of the way.
iv.
Pin the footrest tray in place using the blue detent pin.
c.
Casters: Rotate the casters up so they take up less room.
i.
Tip the AdvenChair on its back
ii.
Unpin the yellow detent pins from the top of both casters (Figure 3).
iii.
Rotate the casters up and re-pin them so they point straight up.
d.
Taking off the main wheels.
i.
Tip the chair onto its front and have someone hold it in place.
ii.
Unscrew the axles from each wheel with the 6mm hex wrench and pull the
wheels “down” and away from the chair (Figure 5).
iii.
Screw the axles back into the AdvenChair frame to prevent loss of the axles and to
protect their threads.
iv.
While the main wheels are off, protect the brake rotors from being bent.
v.
Don’t squeeze the brake levers while the brake rotors aren’t in the brake calipers.
e.
Folding the seat:
Place the chair upright and push the seatback forward and down.
f.
Remove the handle bars:
i.
Pull the detent pins from the steering tubes
ii.
Lift the handle bars and the upper steering tubes out of the lower steering tubes
and place them just behind the seat. Make sure not to twist the brake cables.
iii.
Insert the detent pins into the lower steering tubes.
The chair is now fully disassembled and ready for transport.
