XXL-Rehab Minimaxx - Folding Wheelchair
12
Wheel lock
Engage the wheel lock by pushing the lever forward.
The lock is infinitely adjustable. To adjust the lock, loosen the screws on the
bracket and push back the lock far enough to ensure that the lock shoe pres-
ses 3-5 mm into the tyre when the lock is engaged.
Ensure that the screws are tightened properly to keep the bracket in the
correct position.
Test the wheelchair before use to verify that the locks are working correctly.
If a wheel lock becomes worn or damaged, it MUST be replaced
immediately
NOTE:
If you adjust the centre of gravity, the wheel locks must be
adjusted as well.
NOTE:
When transferring in and out of the XXL-Rehab Minimaxx wheel-
chair, BOTH wheel locks must be engaged.
Rear wheels
By default, the XXL-Rehab Minimaxx wheelchair is fitted with solid 24”
rear wheels.
Adjusting the centre of gravity
It is possible to adjust the rear wheels’ position in relation to your centre
of gravity to make it easier to drive the wheelchair.
Remove the rear wheels by loosening the axle on the outside of the wheel
and pulling the wheel away from the wheelchair frame. Remove the nut
on the inside of the axle socket, and place the axle socket in the desired
position on the frame. Move the lock forward or backward accordingly.
Retighten the nut on the inside, and install the wheels as instructed in the
Assembly section. Finally, adjust the wheel locks as instructed in the Wheel
lock section.
WARNING
–
Adjusting the center of gravity should only be undertaken by
trained caregivers.
–
When the center of gravity is changed,
THE ANTI-TIPPERS MUST
BE ADJUSTED TO PREVENT THE WHEELCHAIR FROM TIPPING
BACKWARD.
–
If the anti-tippers are set incorrectly, it could potentially cause
personal injury.
Adjusting the anti-tippers
The position of the anti-tippers can be adjusted in relation to your centre of
gravity to prevent any potential risk of the wheelchair tipping backwards.
Adjust the position of the anti-tippers only when the wheelchair is empty.
Unscrew the screws on the wheelchair frame above the anti-tippers and
remove them. Move the anti-tipper up or down as required and reinsert the
screws. Make sure that the screw with the inside thread protrudes complet-
ely from the backrest tube. Retighten the screws.
Attempt to tip the wheelchair backwards to check that the anti-tippers
prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Cleaning
Regular cleaning of all surfaces will preserve the wheelchair’s appearance
and extend its service life. All surfaces may be cleaned with a mild soap solu-
tion. If required, spray the chair with VIRKON and wipe the fabric according
to the instructions for use.
NEVER USE ANY
solvents. You can also clean the chair by wiping it with
spirit.
NOTE:
washing and soaking the backrest upholstery will reduce the
flame retarding effect.
Maintenance procedure
1. Check that all nuts and bolts are tight before using the XXL-Rehab Mini-
maxx wheelchair. Check all parts for wear and damage, and replace parts
where required. Check that the wheelchair is properly adjusted to fit the
user.
2. Keep the axles free from dirt and fluff to ensure that the mechanism
locks correctly and that the wheels can turn freely.
3. Remember to lubricate the axles at least once a month (use a 3-in-1 oil
or a similar product).
4. Periodically check the wheels and tyres for cracks and wear, and replace
as required.
5. Periodically check that the handrims are securely attached to the wheel.

chair or any part of it. When returning the wheelchair, it is important to pack
