4.11. Quick-release axles
To achieve significantly easier transport of your wheelchair, the wheels
are equipped with quick-release axles as standard:
•
Press on the locking button of the quick-release axle with a finger
and remove the wheel (fig. 36).
•
When reattaching the wheel, simple push the wheel back into the
mount. At the same time, press the locking button.
Ensure when pushing back in that the quick-release axle is pushed!
Check after pushing back in that the wheel is firmly attached by
pulling it towards you without operating the locking button of the
quick-release axle.
4.12. Tipping aid
The tip assist can be used to help an accompanying person overcome
obstacles such as kerbs. Hold the wheelchair firmly at the push handles
with both hands. Then with one foot you press on one of the tip assist
(fig. 37), at the same time pushing downwards with both hands.
