SETTINGS
4. Balance of the wheelchair
Fig. 23
You change the wheelchair balancing by moving the drive wheels (rear axle)
forward or backwards, see
Fig. 23
.
The further forward you place the drive wheels, the more backward balanced the
chair becomes.This makes the seat easier to move forward and gives you more
weight over the drive wheels.The chair will be easier to maneuver and will also
be easier to lift up on the rear wheels then you have to drive over a threshold
However, the chair must not be too back-balanced as it can feel uncomfortable.
It is therefore important that you take the time to try out a balance that suits you
body and driving technique, so that you really get the seat as easy to drive as
possible.
.
You change the balance like this:
:
1. Remove the rear wheels.
2. Loosen the bolts (1) located on the underside of the rear axle attachments, on
both sides, see
Fig. 23
.
3. Now you can slide the wheel attachments forward or backwards, along the
chassis tube. It´s important that both wheel attachments has the same position
on both sides. Check this by measure the distance
A
, between front of the ver-
tical chassis tube and the rear of the wheel attchments with ruler or similar and
check that the distance is the same on both sides, see
Fig. 23
.
4. Then tighten the bolts (1) till the rear axle sits firmly.
The little work you have with adjusting the wheelchair, you get back for a long
time ahead. Try different settings during a day to notice if you get the right seating
positions and the right balance. After approx. a month make a new check to see
that everything is ok.
