WHEELS
With removed drive wheels the Shower
and toiler wheelchair cab no longer be
braked, resp. locked through the brake
levers.
Shower and toilet wheelchairs with PU-
tyres when stored for longer periods of
time, should be put away safely without
activated pressure brakes, since otherwise
permanent deformations to the tyre sur-
face could occur.
Tyres are made of a rubber mixture and
can leave permanent or difficult-to-re-
move marks on some surfaces (e.g. plas-
tic, wooden or parquet flooring, carpets,
mats).
24" Drive wheels
After inserting the drive wheel the locking
button must stick a couple of millimetres
out of the wheel nut.
The drive wheels are on a quick release axle.
☞
No person may be seated in the shower
and toilet wheelchair during assembly
or removal. The shower and toilet chair
must stand on a level and firm surface.
Before starting disassembly of a wheel,
secure the shower and toilet wheel-
chair to prevent it from tipping over or
unwanted movement.
Quick release axle
The driving wheels can be removed and re-
assembled without any tools.
☞
For this first unlock the quick release
axle by pressing the spring button (1),
then pull the drive wheel off toward the
outside.
To replace the drive wheels unlock the re-
spective quick release axle by pressing the
spring button (1) and press it as far as possi-
ble into the axle receptacle.
☞
After each assembly the locking device
is to be checked with sideward pulling/
pressing on the drive wheels!
☞
The stop bolt must be kept clean. A
functional fault may occur in the case of
contamination due to sand or earth or
in the event of freezing of moist cold air.
☞
If the drive wheels has too much side-
ward lag or the axle does not engage,
have it maintained immediately by the
specialist dealer.
