Assembling the Easywheel
Make sure that the adapter is mounted on your wheelchair

Start by fitting Easywheel to your wheelchair. The wheel has a quick release coupling (QR – axle).
Lower the handle to the quick release when fitting.

Then insert the QR- axle
It is vitally important that the axel is pressed in far enough otherwise the QR axel can break off or come away from the
wheelchair.

Protection from tipping
Before you begin using Easywheel for the first time, you must check that the anti-tip protection is mounted on the
wheelchair.
For safety reasons you should only take away the anti-tip-protection in order to overcome an obstacle, for instance, high kerbs
or similar. In such cases, you will need the assistance of another person.
The assembly instructions delivered with your wheelchair should be followed when assembling or dismantling the anti-tip
device.
Important information
If you operate your Easywheel wheelchair using the same force as a standard manual wheelchair, you will soon notice the
difference when you come to tackle obstacles which you previously were unable to manage, thanks to Easywheel. The hand
rims can be slippery and it can prove difficult to control the wheelchair if your hands are wet or if you operate it in the rain.
The hand rims will have the capacity to run at twice the speed of the wheels when negotiating a slope, so be careful if you have
dry plastic-coated rims that can case wery high friction in your hands.
It is important that, as a user, you are aware of how the wheelchair works before you start to use it (look at the wheelchair
manufacturer’s safety instructions in the instruction manual).
Lock the brakes when stepping out of or into the wheelchair.
Check that the tyres on your Easywheel wheelchair have the correct air pressure when operating.
The air pressure is to be maintained at 6 bar.
