7.8. Quick-release axles
To make the transport of your wheelchair considerably
easier, the wheels are equipped with quick-release axles as
standard:
• Press the locking button of the quick-release axle with
your finger and pull the wheel off (Fig. 26).
• When refitting the wheel, simply push the wheel back
onto the mount. At the same time, press in the locking
button as well.
When attaching, make sure that the quick-release axle is
inserted right up to the stop! After attaching, check that
the wheel is securely fixed by pulling it towards you with-
out operating the locking button of the quick-release axle!
7.9. Tip assist
The tip assist can be used to make it easier for an accom-
panying person to negotiate obstacles such as kerbs. Hold
the wheelchair firmly by the push handles with both
hands. You then press one of the tip assists with one foot
(Fig. 27), while at the same time pushing downwards with
your hands.
