7.5 Adjustment of front wheel
The following alterations should only be carried out by a qualified medical centre, in
order to ensure the wheelchair’s functional performance, its therapeutical usefulness
and especially your safety.
On changing the extension of the steering wheel onto
the frame, the seatangle may be changed as well. Take
care on all alterations that exactly the same adjustments
are carried out on both sides, that the centre of gravity is
not shifted too far backwards (danger of overturning) and
that the rotation performance is not obstructed by the
leg support.
Please remember to adjust the correct position of the
front wheel adapter after each modification of the wheel
size, of the wheel base etc., otherwise the perfect
wheeling function of the front wheels will no longer be
ensured.
Advice for your orthopaedic mechanic
engineer:
For adjusting the steering wheel adapter,
loosen both screws (A) which are fixing the
front wheel adapter onto the frame. Now
the eccentric disc (B) can be turned until
the front wheel adapter is in an exact
perpendicular position - with a protractor
the angle may be rectified. Do not forget
to re-tighten all screws after having
finished the adjustment!
