Unpacking checklist
On receiving and opening the box, inspect the contents for
evident transport damage. If any damage is found, contact
the carrier.
After opening the box with the XXL-Rehab Minimaxx wheel-
chair, check that it contains the following standard items:
1 XXL-Rehab Minimaxx wheelchair frame fitted with wheel
locks and two casters
2 Two rear wheels with handrims
3 Two anti-tippers
4 Two Quick-release armrests.
Assembly
1. Remove all the parts from the box and put them on the
floor.
2. Install the rear wheels by pressing the little stud on the
axle on the outside of the wheel, and push the axle into
the socket on the wheelchair frame.
WARNING
– Check that the little stud has been fully released, and
that the two locking pins at the opposite end are
fully out, before using the wheelchair.
- The locking pins MUST protrude on the inside of the
axle socket, as otherwise the wheel is not properly
secured.
- Tilt the wheelchair to clear the rear wheels off the
ground, and pull on the wheels to ensure that they
are securely fitted.
- Always keep the stud and locking pins free from dirt.
3. Insert the two anti-tippers on the back of the wheelchair
in a hole which matches the location of the rear wheels.
Refer to the section on Anti-tippers.
4. Insert the armrests in their sockets by activating the
Quick-release button on the metal split pin in the hole
on either side of the backrest. Make sure that the guide
spindle at the front underneath the armrest is inserted in
the corresponding hole on the wheelchair frame.
PLEASE NOTE:
Pull up on the armrests to verify that they
are securely fitted.
5. Install the leg supports on either side of the wheelchair
front. For information on height and width adjustment,
please refer to the section Leg supports and footrests.
User customisation
The following instructions explain how to adjust the XXL-
Rehab Minimaxx wheelchair. After making adjustments, it is
very important to check that all parts are properly secured.
Tools
Allen keys: 5 mm (2 pieces), 6 mm, 8 mm
Fork wrenches: 10 mm, 13 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm
Leg supports and footrests
The length of the leg support should be adjusted while you
are sitting in the wheelchair.
Unscrew the bolt on the back of the leg support tube and
pull it out. Move the footrest up or down to the desired
height. Reinsert the bolt through the tube and fasten it. The
footrest should be at least 6 cm from the ground.
The footrest should be adjusted sideways with your foot
resting on it.
Loosen the thumbscrew beneath the footrest and push the
footrest towards the side or towards the centre as required,
and then retighten the thumbscrew.
NOTE:
The lock bolts beneath the foot rests must always
be properly mounted in the leg support sockets. The lock
bolts must not be tightened on the leg support outside the
holes.
NOTE:
Adjustment of the leg support and footrest is
required to prevent excessive pressure on your legs at the
front edge of the wheelchair, which could harm you.
